I was looking at my RBPs tonight and noticed that one was missing a bit of skin at the back of his underbelly. I can see some of his intestine that's made it's way through the hole and I don't know what to do! I put in some Stress Coat which claims to help but I know that the others are going to bully him and I don't know how to help! I know that piranhas do this but he's my favorite and I really don't want to lose him! He seems to be swimming ok, but slightly favoring the injured side. What should I do?:(
 
I don't know what RBP's are but I would try to quarantine a fish injured this badly. apparently that's not an option. if you don't have a quarantine tank setup i would invest in a glass partition. I know how it is with the favorite so best of luck!
 
yeah, tomorrow I plan to get a tank for quarentining, but I would still need to cycle it...when I say RBP i mean red belly piranha, sorry about that.
