Siamese Attacked Neon

[Alimak]

Hello All,

Last night I did my weekly water change after which I let my fish resettle in the tank and when I went back to the tank to switch the light off like i do every night I saw that my female siamese fighting fish had one of my jumbo neon tetras in her mouth. She only released when I went to take the neon out of the tank to place in a tank of its own.

The neon now has a nip in its tail and the fins look all scruffy and im not sure what to do to help her heal. Also what should i do about the siamese fighting fish should i keep her or get her re-homed. I lost a jumbo neon also during the week it just disappeared from the tank and im starting to wonder if it is the siamese attacking tham all or not. She has been in there over a month and never attacked any of them she acted as if she didnt care they were there.

Please help if anyone can I want to save this little one

Many Thanks

Bettas will attack smaller fish so you'll have to decide between them. Treat the injured one with melafix, dosing as per instructions.
