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.

If it's right down to the base, it will probably not grow back, but the
fish will adapt and be little the worst for wear. If it's healing, I
would leave hime alone where his is. If it worsens, then you can
re-evaluate the situation.

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.

Too smart. The figure out quickly what their limits are too (as in what
fish they can swallow).

Nice clean colours on the barb. I just saw the sick pleco picture. That
looks really bad. Good luck with the treatment.

of
his
