URGENT just realised my danio was stuck behind filter, I rescued her , now struggling to swim, has few wounds?

Question

Has damage to a fin , a gash inbetween her belly and tail. What should I do? I fed her, cos she must have been there for 2-3 days! I thought perhaps she had died, and the other fish ate her but no, just realised what had happened. Wht should I do? Please?

Answer 1

If she she still is swimming that is a good sign. Put her in a seprate tank than with the other fish, a nursing tank...anything small is okay also...she has went through stress...they produce a slim when injured or in a panic...there is a medicine called stress coat to help them shem that after stress...all places that sell fish carry it. I hope this helps and she does better.

Answer 2

Thee really isn't much you can do for her to be honest. About the best thing to do is what you have already done. Try to keep her well fed, the tank nice and clean and hope that she heals. If she continues to struggle swimming for more than a day or two you may want to humanely euthanize her.

Answer 3

if you have another tank i would put her in it alone then go to a pet store and buy medication for wounded fish. i would also put a teaspoon of salt per every gallon of water in your tank, that will help your fish heal and keep bacteria from growing

Answer 4

something i always did for fish wounds is gently net the fish and place on soaking wet paper towel, put betadine on wounds with wet cotton wad or q-tip, then return fish to tank.

Answer 5

put her by her self and feed watch and if she floats about all you can do swims a good chance of survival put a net over the filters before you lose more.

Answer 6

You just have to wait.

Buy some MelaFix, it will help heal cuts etc.

Answer 7

Sorry but a quick pull on the comode handle with her in it, is the only fair thing to do.

Answer 8

Let her heal and if she doesn't heal then kill her
