Gibby Issue. Please Help ! (Again)

[Shaddex]

Looks like my Gibby has a nasty heater burn as he lives under it !!
Whats the best way to treat ?

Keep the water quality absolutely spot on, it should heal up fine, although you may find you get fungus as a secondary infection, so you'd have to treat that. And get a heater guard!

+1. If you don't have a heater gaurd, try moving the heater up about 6" from the bottom until you can get a guard. That might help the little guy from hiding under it.

Got new heater with guard.
He seems to have lost his dorsal fin though.. do you think it will grow back ?

If it's just the fin tissue, it might grow back; if it's the skin that the fin grows from, then probably not I'm afraid.
