water pocket near the wound!!!!eeeek!!!!

[headbanger_jib]

ok it seems the jar jumped and hit his head
and has a bruise now
but along with the bruise there is water pocket very close to the wound
now should i worry about this and anything i should do to help other than the medication(such as salt and melafix and temp bump)

here are a few pics

thank you for all your help



and yup this is the guy in the weirdly stocked tank
here is the update of that tank http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=175805&page=7

Sorry dude. No idea what that is. I never actually had my aros or jar or paimas jumping....

Hmmm that looks nasty. I would go with salt if you are not already salting your water. No idea how it will affect the other fish of yours.

Just add salt and up the temp to 30 degC. HE will heal on his own. Nasty cut though.

the water pocket is gone and the wound is healing nicely now
will try and snag a pic in the evening
