where did u get such a small jar? I've never been able to buy them smaller than 5 inches.
i got him for $30. the store had 4 sold two and then i bought the third. there is still another one but im sure it was sold today.
 
If you use melafix add an airstone. If you cant add an airstone lower the water level to increase surface agitation. Just a precaution as I believe and have read about quite a few people who had mela fix actually starve a bit of the tanks oxygen.
 
another picture. going to buy melafix and pimafix. i hop it works. he is still swimming and eating like normal so i hope he is gonna pull through

i just noticed that his tail fin is chewed up badly. why? what else is in the tank with him? i'm not sure a young fish would swim that fast and powerfully to the point of damaging himself that badly. with that open gash and chewed up tail fin, i think there might be some other issue at hand.
 
Looks like that wound was from fighting, I've never seen a fish injury itself on driftwood before...

On the plus side, I had a Niger Triggerfish get mauled by a reefshark, and his intestines were actually hanging out...I caught him, poked them back inside with a pen, and he healed up just fine :thumbsup:
 
idk wat happend to its tail. other fish i have with him is 3 inch datnoid and a 1 inch lown loach. you know i honestly think it might be a fight now. cause i dont remember seeing my fish with a ripped up tail.ohh and i just bought melafix!!!! i hope it works! should i take out my fish and put that hangging stuff back inside him?
 
totally for sure i second the fight thought since that does not look like a bump wound from wood unless you have the rare african razor tooth wood.

hope your fish makes it ok
