I would suggest not dosing her with anything. If you can stop the
hassling she will heal within a couple of days. So on to the real problem - putting a stop to the hassling. You didn't mention how large the aquarium she is currently in is. If it is large enough to support a couple more fish I would suggest buying two or three more rosy barbs - that will spread the aggression around to multiple fish and you should notice her heal up very fast when she isn't constantly the center of attention. A group of five barbs will also be much more interesting than two - in a larger group you'll see much more natural activity. Separating them is a good temporary fix but then you have the problem of two tanks with a single barb in them. One barb by itself makes for a pretty boring tank. Of course if your fry are successfull then they won't be alone for long so that may be ok. Still, I would stay away from medication unless you think it is absolutely necessary. Others may disagree but I've never had a fish that wouldn't heal on its own when put in a proper environment - and that even includes a jack dempsey that was nearly beat to death by a pack of severums. If your fish can still swim then it can still heal itself. -Daniel |
