WHAT? you keep silver sharks and platies togther?

yeah thats too bad, get some general meds to heal the tail and get some new growth but it is probable that you will lose him unfortunately as tropical fish are well known for being 'fragile'

Turn tanks lights out and lets him settle down.
Keep an eye on the fins to make sure they don't get infected.

ok ive done that

is there a all in one med i could use i dont get paid until thursday and ive only got a few quid so probally only be able to afford one bottle for now

 

[WILDER]

There melafix but is very expensive for what it is.
Its only good on cuts and wounds.
Plus some fish don't tolerate it to well.
You can dab wounds with methylene blue or melafix.

easyer said than done im right in the middle of a cycle in 4 hours the ammonia is off the chart im doing a WC before work lunch time and 2 after work

 

[Nick16]

so you added corries when you should be cycling your tank? (i dont think there is a smiley for jaw droping)

 

[WILDER]

Research the fish before you buy.
Take the rainbow shark back to the lfs they need over 40 gallon tanks, as they are aggressive.
