Injured Black Moor?

Question

i had to move my tiny (maybe the size of a quater or a little bigger )black moor out of its tank the other fish were nipping at what was left of his tail due to my husband being an idiot and putting a cichlid in the tank with it for a few mins til the water conditner in its tank had time to work and it took a bit out of his tail hes not sick just injured i have no extra tanks at this moment and wont be able to get one til friday or saturday the earliest i was wondering if he would be ok in a bowl or pitcher if i do water changes everyday and do i need to at least give him an air stone
and since hes that small would it be ok til he gets better to put in a 2.5 gallon mini bowl walmart has the whole kit with filter for cheaper then what i can get a 10 gallon for and then i would have to get a hood, filter that wont come with the 10g that our stores have i dont mind doing water changes every few days in the smaller tank right now thanks and will the tail grow back fully

Answer 1

get your moor some melafix to help with the tail. if you are getting the mini-bow kit make sure it is the one with an over the back filter and not the undergravel filter. goldfish make way too much waste for an undergravel to work -- even when they are small. he should be fine in a bowl with water changes every couple of days. goldfish suck up a lot of oxygen so if you can add an airstone to help. the 5 gallon aqua-tech at walmart is an extremely good tank for 40 bucks. i think the basic 10 gallon at walmart is only like 30 -- a filter, hood and aquarium -- can't beat that. you can buy the same thing at a pet store for twice that. the company that makes it just changes the name for walmart. if you can hold out a week or two that would be a much better home for your moor. i keep bettas in the 2.5 minibows and they love them.

Answer 2

A black moor that small would be ok in the 2.5 gallon until he gets better, and should be ok in a pitcher size container until you get that, make sure that when you are doing a water change use water conditioner and stress coat, very important, especially with him being hurt it will help him heal and keep him calm with all the water changes. The tail will at least grow back some but probably not all the way but enough for him to survive.

Answer 3

I had the same problem, I put my black moor in a large coffee pot and changed the water every day until I was able to buy a new tank about two weeks later. My moor lost almost all of its fin and half of a gill because of my cichlid. Thankfully it has recovered fully and is a beautiful as the day I bought it Have had this one know for 6 months.

Answer 4

The scrape will heal. it would desire to or will possibly no longer bypass away a scar. Black moors exchange into much less black as they become previous, besides. lots of them exchange from the velvety black they have as juveniles to extra of a brown, bronze, or gold coloration. each and every so often they even exchange to different colorings. One popular Black Moor became pink, white, and blue because it elderly. Its photograph became into utilized in classified ads for conflict Bonds during the 2nd international conflict.

Answer 5

It could be ok in a small container if you do daily water changes. Add some melafix too. And tell your husband that he does not need to remove the fish while conditioning the water, it works pretty quickly.
