Hi All

Had my barbs for close on 3 years and had very few problems, but noticed today that one of my larger barbs has one of its underfins is partially missing and a sore next to where the fin was. The only thing in my tank that has changed is I changed from gravel to sand about 6 weeks ago and I have cut down on my food slightly about 10% roughly. The only fish i have noticed nipping it are my small (1 inch long) clown loach. Without isolating(haven't got a spare tank) is there anything I can do? I have added some Melafix. which is good for sores so I have read. struggling to upload a pic at the mo
 
Just keep the water quality up and it should heal with no problems. I expect one of the other tigers has nipped it; they're little devils.
