Hi,
 
I have an injured mumba from an attack.  I have had him in my QT tank for the last 2 days and have been treating with melafix.  A friend spotted him laying down in the sand in my mbuna tank.  He wasnt moving much when i put him in my QT tank, but now he is moving better.  His fins are all messed up so he is not swimming well.  He is not eating.  My main concern is that he has a huge bite on the top of his head.  It keeps getting nastier and has developed a white fuzz on the would?  Is this fungus or part of the healing process?  How should I go about this?  If i need salt, what kind of salt and what dosage?  I have a 10 gallon qt tank. Water changes?  Please look at the pics.  Thanks in advance.
