I got her like that last week, now i have her in a 20 gallon uncycled hospital tank.
its been already 1 week, and the injury seems to have fungused.
I have added Ocean free yellow powder last night . and today i added a small heater and set it to 30 Deg Celcius. any advise on what to do?
i've been feeding her a few days ago since she has a really good appettite. but now the wound seem to become worse :( Should i totally skip feeding while in treatment
 
Would reduce the temps down to 25-27 degrees Celsius. Since u already treated then would allow to finish the med course. Let it eat if it’s hungry. Keep the water clean and make sure ur heater is covered. Check ur water daily with test kits.

By the way, wasn’t able to google the active ingredient of the yellow powder. Has some broad coverage though.
 
Not to rub salt into your wound but I believe only the males have that red hue on their head?
 
Thanks guys!:)
The red hue on her is because her scale and akin has been eaten off bynthe fungus.

I dropped a piece of algae wafer hope she takes it.

She did have good appettite a few days ago.
