What would you recommend to treat minor injuries, scrapes etc? I have loads of different water treatments but sometimes it seems more stressful to isolate a fish that's only got a minor wound. I'd like to find something that can just be dabbed on the fish and then return it to the main tank but everything (at least here in the UK) seems to just treat the water Posted by KevnBev on July 15, 2005, 4:56 am Please log in for more thread options Dyslexia lures ko!

There are two people medicines I've used on fish that are available in the US. Either works well to let an injury heal cleanly and without infection. My first choice is an antibiotic ointment called Neosporin. It's a mixture of neomycin, polymixin B, and bacitracin in petroleum jelly that's designed for use on scrapes and cuts. The second thing I've used with good success is mercurichrome tincture. -- Elaine T __ http://eethomp.com/fish.html <'__>< rec.aquaria.* FAQ http://faq.thekrib.com Posted by Ray Martini on July 15, 2005, 10:03 am Please log in for more thread options Try Melafix if it's available in the UK > Apologies for cross posting - I'm in the UK so appreciate info from both > sides of the pond. > > What would you recommend to treat minor injuries, scrapes etc?
