Keep that water quality up there... perfect water will help with the healing process. pimafix+melafix cocktail may also help.

If he starts to decline, I'd opt for an antibiotic dip or QT

Clean water and mela/pima fixes will help. Clean water is most important though

Make sure you add an airstone if you're adding the "fixes". For some they hold dissolved oxygen in the water and you need to bring the oxygenation up so they can breathe ok.

thanks for your help! will make sure its kept clean

I'd also get him in BW, ASAP.

theyre in brackish water
