Preventive Measurements

[aroHaji]

Hi All,

I have done a search in this forum but my findings are limited. So got to ask these questions again, please bare with me for a while.

My aro jump, hit the cover and its upper lip got cut while feeding. Besides, adding salt to prevent any potential infections, what other things need to be done? Like any medication to speed up the healing? Will the flesh drop off by itself or is surgery needed?

Thanks!

Depends on how deep is the cut. For mine, it recovers so fast.....No need to add anything. Within one week, it is back to normal

just keep your water in good condition... you may also want to add in Melafix..

I also second for that!

looks like the answer is to keep good water parameters!

Lucky enough, i had just changed to a cannister filter before this happened.

thanks!
