wounded catfish

[hazler]

G'day, I've got a small eel tailed catfish in a tank with a few yabbies and other small fish. Walked in front of my tank and saw the poor fella had a little nip out of his tail.

Obviously assuming a yabbie did this. Just wondering if there is anything I can do to help him/her heal cheers

Cheers

Not sure if there was an answer and the answer you have replied to had been deleted.

Happens to catfish's fins, barbels, and skin all the time. If there is no red and it is not spreading then it means the cat's immune system works fine and the damage will heal fine. If either one's occurring, the wound may be more serious or I'd suppose that the cat's immune system defense may be not at its best (e.g., keeping conditions have a room for improvement) and I'd add a little of anticeptic/antibiotic.
