Hi guys
 
I need help ASAP.
I have 2 8" Pangasius sharks and as you know, they are very skittish.
This morning, something spooked them or maybe a fish had a nibble and the two of them went berzerk, darting all over my tank.
One of them is ok but the other has a huge gash on his head and the skin has flapped back exposing underneath.
It's still all blood red but he's been fine and eating ok but I'm not sure what to do as i don't want it to get infected and lose him.
I've done my weekly water change today but could anyone tell me do i need to add anything to the tank so he heals or will he be ok?
Can't really get a good picture to show you but it's not just a scratch!
Worried like crazy.
Cheers guys.
 
Difficult to judge without actually seeing the wound (I feel your pain with trying to get a picture) but i would recommend keeping them as relaxed as possible, maybe upping the water changes a bit to keep the quality as high as possible and dealing with anything else as it comes up.
 
Cheers Tuxyu3.
I done a 40% change today so should be pretty clean now.
I'll try and get a picture tomorrow if possible!!
Looks very nasty but fingers crossed it will heal and not get infected.
