Rehab For Ripped Fins

[LadyDragon]

Aloha again guys and gals

So I got home from work today to discover one of my new little Opaque white HM females had somehow managed to jump out of her conditioning tank and into the adjacent one...

While there is no big tragedy to report (thankfully) she is a bit shredded and missing some scales, and the male (Winter) is proudly tending a newly constructed bubble nest.

Anyway, female seems healthy enough (she can see two males and keeps trying to get to them through the glass, happily flaring up a storm) except for some missing chunks from a couple fins and a few scales missing... But anyone have tips or tricks for how to help her recover?

Scales won't heal but the fins should heal right up in no time with plenty of clean water

I get bettafix from the LFS. It heals fins really fast My little Rockstar ripped his tail on a plastic plant, and it ripped all the way up to his body. Within three days of bettafix treatment, his tail was almost completely healed.

Some people swear by Indian Almond Leaves, enough to really tea-colour the water.

Melafix applied to the injured areas, too.

If scales get lost eventually they will grow back. takes a long time tho. Just make sure the water is clean to avoid any secondary infection that may crop up. Clean water is the best remedy for fin ailments 90% of the time.
best of luck
cheers

Evangeline is in IAL water with a little stresscoat and salt added...
So far it's been working well, she is one tough little Gladiatrix!
