URGENT Bichir help!!!! Plz

[primativeshark]

Hi I have had my bichir for years now. I just recently moved him into my big tank with my turtle and catfish. It's been a week then I come home to this: fins bitten and torn out past gills and bitten tail and gills. Please don't call me a bad owner or anything all my other fish had been fine with the turtle just not this one....

Can someone please help me???!!!!

Yea the bichir mixed with a turtle is most likely a bad idea

The only help I could offer would be to move the bichir out of the tank into a hospital tank till healed. If not possible put up a divider. Also you may want to move the turtle. What kind of turtle? What kind of bichir, tank size and other stock?

+1 first thing that came to my mind. Without pics can't really help you but definetly separate and add salt...
