I Fixed A Fish

[LakeyGal]

I put the lights on in my tank 1 morning last week and saw one of my Barbs flopping round at the surface with a huge angry gash in his tail - it was almost dropping off.
Now before I found the TFF I would have had to go to Google or the LFS for advice and most often the diagnosis wasn't accurate and fishy wouldn't make it. However as a direct result of browsing this forum I hospitalised and medicated him and he lives.....he did swim round in circles for a while till his tail reattached itself but now he's fine and back with his chums....
Its a small victory but I thought it worth sharing.

Actually It's daft how smug I've been about it. I'm going to start offering advice to the LFS soon !! (whether they want it or not)

Not sure who did it, he shares a tank with barbs and plecs so it must have been one of the barbs, I think there must have been something else wrong with him to start with which is why someone had a pop - that must have been fixed with the meds too as they are all happy schooling together again now.
