Injured black/white ocellaris
I'm looking for some advice as my clown fish severly injured it's self some how. She has completly lost her tail fin and all tissue up to her dorsal fin - I belive she may have been sucked into on of my k3.
I have placed her in a quarantine tank where she appears to be doing fine swimming and eating as normal. Is there any sort of medication treat her with? |

i'd probably treat with a combo of pimafix and melafix to fight off fungal and bacterial infection.

Do as mentioned above for sure, I would also dose stress coat with aloe. I believe its made by API. As I said in a previous post I am not sure if there is any scientific evidence to the stress coat with aloe increasing recovery speed but IME it helps alot. I have QTd injured fish and let them heal naturally and it takes many days. When I dose the stress coat with aloe I notice major improvements every day.
