My RTB Shark had a run in a couple of nights ago with my Gar (I assume, as he is the only thing with teeth). He has a very nasty flesh wound about 1/3 the length of his body and 0.5cm deep. It is bright red but has started to turn white around the edges. I am currently treating my tank with 'Myxazin' for a case of 'cloudy eye', I assume this is satisfactory for the flesh wound also?? I am carrying out regular water changes at present anyway due to the cycling of my tank, which I hope will help. Do fish regularly recover from major flesh wounds? Or am i fighting a loosing battle? Should I consider sectioning him off from the other fish?
It doesn't seem to have affected him in anyway, still swims around non-stop and feeds regularly.
