Fish Addict
i need some advice on what the best thing to do is. i went to an lfs yesterday to get myself a little girl bolivian ram to be friends with my boy bolivian ram. i saw this poor girl in the tank and just had to have her. she has a huge chunk out of her dorsal fin. she is in my community tank and i would like to treat her but im not sure what with. i was thinking about melafix as i have a few others in the tank with chewed on fins (i had a nasty platy in there who progressed in one night from chasing everyone to actually chewing on everyone moved him out promptly). it says to remove activated carbon before use. does that mean only the carbon stuff and not things like bio balls, ceramic noodles etc?? i have not long (about 4 days now) added a canister filter which has about 8 layers of different kinds of media. i hope i dont have to remove all those
other than that i have salt but a lot of the fish in this tank arent tolerant of salt and the only other option is my brackish tank which i figured would still have too much salt for the ram the cory and the columbian tetra.
i also have a broad spectrum anti biotic that also requires removal of activated carbon. can we all tell ive never had to medicate my home tanks??? lol its easy at work cause you have to isolate the tank being treated and i KNOW i can treat the tank hehe
anyway here is a pic of the poor girl. the boy is lookin fine and the girl acts fine and all i ust hate seeing her with this huge cunk out of her fin
