Injured Serpae Tetra

[crunch7]

Now this guy is really small, I dont know when it happened but my tigers have bit WHole of his Tail fin. he can`t even swim now. I don`t have an hospital tank. I am thinking if i should move him into a 400 ml plastic box or a 1 litre bottle maybe and then put medication. he is like half an inch and really thin. (like fry)none of the other serpaes or tiger barbs are bothering him now.But i am really concerned he can be easy prey, should i medicate the entire tank ??

there are plenty of hiding place ,but the guy can hardly swim anywhere.

I would indeed find something else to put him in, and medicate.

7 Days of Melafix should sort him out. His whole tail wont grow back in this time, but it will stop any infection starting, and give the tail a chance to grow back.

Clean water is key to fixing ill health, so make sure you are doing plently of water changes, expecially if he is going into a small body of water.

Hope this helps.
