My girlfriend has two German Blue Rams, one male one female. Apparently they fought and the male won. The female is pretty badly injured, fins nipped, and she can't swim well. She was hiding, near lifeless in some plants. I haven't been able to get a real good look at her myself because I've been trying to keep the tank dim. I will try to look in the AM once shes been alone in the dark for a while, to hopefully calm her nerves, and try to get a better dammage assessment.
So, I took the female ram over to my house and just setup a hospital tank. I've got her in a bare-bottom 10g with an airstone (which I covered in some filter floss from my 10g regular tank) and a heater. I've got a towel over the tank to keep it dark.
I'm not really sure what my next step should be, possibly stress coat or some aquarium salt or even some maracyn or melafix? Hopefully if she stays here long enough she will be back to health.
Is my filtration adaquate on this tank? I can do frequent (as in daily or every other day) water changes should the need be, and I expect it to be.
Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.
