Thrashed Spotted rafael

[fishguy1978]

Have you tested your water?

No

If I did not test my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be asked to do a test, and that water tests are critical for solving freshwater health problems.

Do you do water changes?

Yes

If I do not change my water...

1. ...I recognize that I will likely be recommended to do a water change, and water changes are critical for preventing future freshwater health problems.

Well, the spotted got thrashed by the male BNP in the 90g for home invasion. Now the spotted is in hospital. Can I use salt or should I use something else. It's missing skin from the dorsal back to the caudal on both sides. I have polyguard, kanaplex and meth blue.

Clean water and salt if it’s not infected looking.

This has been a no good, very bad, aweful, terrible week. Lost my sick SD, BNP thrashed my spotted rafael, and my buddies tank crashed. I do the maintenance on his aquariums due to his health issues. He was given a 38g to upgrade some fish to. I reused the substrate from one and added a bit of new. Reused both sponge filters, original HOB and added a new HOB. Tank came down with ich so I did a 90% water change and dosed with Paraguard. He just called and both festivum are dead and he can't find his wc red shoulder sev.

I hate self made disassters. I forgot to plug in the heater. Thankfully the wc is still alive.

Gave the rafael a meth blue bath in a normal dose, 99% water change and dosed with kanaplex. He was still trying to hide when I put him back

he should be ok. Those guys are nigh- invulnerable and can bunce back from a lot of abuse.

Did a second MB bath and added the third dose of kanaplex this evening.

Should heal up soon.

I checked on Spotty yesterday and he has healed up.
