After a terrible incident in which too much food was dumped into the tank by accident, and in attempt to clean it, Skittle had flopped on the floor, his fin had apparently been torn. I'm extremely worried, (i cleaned his tank to rid it from an excess of food on the floor of it) and I really hope he'll be okay, but it looks serious. Is this an injury that heals over time, may it never be fixed, or will it possibly lead to death? Right now he is just floating aimlessly without moving, and if he does he only uses one fin. Help?
You should put a first aid kit together. They are always good to have on hand Go get some aquarium salt and make sure his water is nice and warm. If you have some indian almond leaves to condition the water with, that'd be great too.
