Default Pleco Injury

Just another note. Since I got a treated hospital tank set-up. I got a
serpae tetra that's had it's dorsal fin bit off by a pim cat. The white film
is starting to subdue around the injured area, and he eats normal, no sign
of distress. Would it benefit him any moving him into the set-up hospital
tank, or just leave him be to heal on his own? Wasn't no little bite, no
sign of a dorsal fin is visible, right down to the backbone. It's healing
over, however can't see if a new fin is growing or not as it's still quite
white.

The tetra's haven't learned yet to leave the cat's "den" alone, he doesn't
like anyone hanging around the entrance to his cave. He actually built this
cave himself, pretty neat looking. Smart fish.
