Mistake

Scubabum · 04/19/2006, 02:13 PM

Today I was siphoning some ditrus out of my tank. I slipped with the hose and the suction grabbed and made a small rip in the flesh of my green brain. Should I do anything special?? What are the chances of the brain surviving? Thanks in advance, Phil

If it's healthy, it'll likely survive. There isn't much you can do at this point, IMO. If it shows signs of infection, I suppose an iodine dip might help.

I think as long as your water quality is good, you wouldn't have any problem.
