healing

My common pleco passed away recently and I was feeling the loss pretty hard today so I went to my LFS to look at all the fish. I wasn’t going to buy anything today as we will be moving soon and I wanted to wait until after the move. Well long story short I came home with a pleco (probably 6-7...

Hello all! It would appear my 2nd smallest teugelsi bichir has been nipped quite visciously by one of my other bichirs last night and I was wonder if this damage is going to be permanent or of it will heal up good with care, I have a larger teugelsi that got his pectorals removed when he was...

Hello everyone, I've had a small oscar in my South-American aquarium for almost a month now. While the other fish seem to have nipped his fins a few times during this time (mostly when he's following them around while they're eating... not his best idea) these tears always seem to heal fully...

Since... i think 2-3 weeks, i'm the lucky owner of a polypterus teugelsi (:nilly:). It arrived very small, barely about 1,5". With a great apetite it seems to be growing about 0,1" per week. It is still verry shy, but seems to be healthy and active. Now to my question: It looks, like it has its...

Hi all. I recently had a pearl stingray that I've kept for a number of years badly bitten by a tank mate. The tank mates are juvenile arapaima and black diamonds and a mutt motoro. Figured I'd throw up some pictures of the situation I've been dealing with that some of you may find interesting...

*Long post warning* :) So my beloved Kamfa-Red Texas is in the process of (hopefully) recovering from a pretty gruesome wound that I'm going to present as kind of a photo journal I've been taking each day during the process. Background: Drakaris is about 10.5" and resides in a bare bottom...

Hello, New here, been growing n breeding cichlids for a while now, ive recently aquired a new hobby of buying pale looking cichlids from poorly maintained tanks that dont look great, they may have been bullied and probably been fed cheap food as well. I bought a medium sized JD (6-7 inches) and...

Hey everyone, so about a year ago, i was keeping this baby juruense and it got sick. It completely lost its tail. Eventually, it started getting better, started eating and growing its tail back. However, only its upper tail grew back, not its lower tail. Ive left it be ever since, thinking that...

My tilapia buttikofferi is alone in his own tank. I noticed today he has a big deep gash in his head right above his eye, my guess is something startled him and he smashed his head into the filter intake. Im a bit worried about him, so how do I go about healing this? I just did a water change...
