Bgk Cure

[dsoucr]

HI,

My BGK fish got into a fight a while ago and since then i have put them in separate tanks. The smaller fish being in a tempo 3' tank till i can setup up a 5' in my lving room n house both the fish. Anyway the small Bgk suffered some injuries due to the fighting. I have posted 2 pics of the bitten part of his fin. it seems to bee healing but it has also developed a weird looking growth. Pls suggest some medication to speed up the healing process. The white spots are from the tank his skin is spotless.

Thanx

Your post kinda confuses me, are you saying that the BGK in the pictures suffered wounds from another BGK?

Cheers,
Dylan

You will need to keep them permanently separate, This species should be kept singularly in your average aquarium to prevent them killing each other, A wide 5ft tank is just about suitable for one of these knife fish, to even attempt to keep two you would need a tank of multiple hundreds of gallons.

The injury looks a bit like an ulcer in the second pic, (can't see anything in the first) This of course needs treating but as BGKs are very sensitive to meds you will need to carefully select the treatment and use only half dose measures
