Whats The Best Way To Cure An Injured Fish?

[TaSd]

my fish got attacked and its seperate now, is there any best way to cure the fish scartches and scar on the body and fins?

i find melafix is good for nipped fins, and it also helps with open wounds

 

[scooterchick]

Yes melafix will help. A even bigger help will be the predator removed from the tank before the victim goes back in.

Erm....
Melafix
Predators
But the most important thing is maintaining good water conditions for the period in which the fish is healing in order to prevent infection, reduce the risk of osmotic shock and reduce any water related stresses.
I would certainly quarantine him, while he is injured there is every chance he'll end up as a target for other (even non-predatory) fish.

Oh deary, deary me.....
Ps; SC the headshake meant no predators as in; if there are any its a bad idea. Just in case you misunderstood my very specific headshaking

is it ok that i mix da fishes with others? or she must be alone to recover?

Is it one of your goldies thats injured?

Either way, injured fish should always be isolated;

They are more likely to receive aggression as a result of their injury.
If an infection is picked up while in this weakened state you risk this contaminating your other fish.
A quarantine tank tends to be easier to treat, monitor and maintain.

Melafex yes yes yes use it its very good. If u return the victim though the predator will attack again.
