I have a young BGK (2 1/2, 3 inches) in a 29 with 2 baby angelfish, 2 baby senegal bichirs (2 inches) and a pair of pineapple swords... they've been getting along great and I haven't seen any signs of aggression from the bichirs but something is wrong with the BGK. I can't tell if he has ich or something along those lines or if he got attacked by the bichirs with wounds on his face. I'm trying to get some pictures... I have him isolated (in a large guppy nursery with the divider taken out.... I know that's not ideal) and I treated the tank with MelaFix just incase its ich. I'm having trouble thinking of how to explain what this stuff looks like so I'm going to try to take a picture but I'll have to load the program to put the pic on the laptop so it may take some time. Anything I can do for him right now??
 
Okay taking a pic didnt work - if I get close enough to see the stuff on his face and back its too blurry to even tell he's hurt. I got a good look myself and I am almost sure these are bite marks from the bichirs. I'm going to move the BGK to another tank by himself but what's the best meds to use on wounds? I think they are a few days old.
