Folks:
Background:
2.5 days ago one of my angels got "stuck" in a rock hole but I was able to remove the rock from my tank and then remove the angel from the hole.
Some folks on PF recommended that I use Melafix at a rate of 1 Teaspon/10Gallons. (13 Teaspoons for my tank and sump).
I have never "had to use" medications but had an unopened bottle of Melafix in the garage in case of emergencies and started the treatment.
Yesterday I read this treatise when I Googeled for Melafix.
http://www.fishjunkies.com/Medications/melafix.php
which indicates that the dosing should be continued for seven days.
Questions:
Do I indeed need to continue the dosing???
(I have dosed twice now and the area around my aquarium smells of Melafix!)
Also do I need to be "doing anything else" to help heal Rocky's wound??
The 1st photograph is Rocky (named for obvious reasons) immediately after I removed him from the rock hole.
The 2nd photgraph is Rocky's worst wound taken last night (after 2 days and 2 doses of Melafix).
Input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ron Jones
BTW to my PF friends:
I bumped twice last night and did not receive a response.
I know that "I am boring you" but I need some input before "I really slobber up"!
