I put this in here only because I wonder if this wound is from one of my rays tagging the CK in the mouth. Or does it look like it broke its jaw running into something? He does love to dash to the surface for air. Wonder if he hit the lid.

yup- jsodwi jsodwi had one too... sucks
 
Well bummer. Super unfortunate. CK was under the radar one of my favorites.

I will say this. Happened 2-3 days ago and he's still eating. Hoping he pulls thru?

Is he eating?
 
Yes. Ate some shrimp and tilapia last night. And just watched him eat around 10 massivore
MEDHBSI MEDHBSI had an aro that got tagged similarly. I would think that if he has clean water and is eating he has a good chance of surviving his wounds.

If it happened a couple of day ago I think you will be ok Mine was tagged the barb broke off in the jaw its head swelled up like crazy and it died 4 hours later
 
I'll hope for the best! Do a big water change tonight and add some salt. And the barb is still perfectly intact on the Ray. After
Closer inspection it looks like the barn has some flesh on the end of it

is the ray barb now open? meaning th skin is broken over it and the barb looks like when it sheds?
