sharn Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 dont really have to do anything at all, oscars are amazing healers! if you want to help the process along adding some melafix at the required dose and some salt (1tbsp per 40L, which is the light dose) if you want to. keep the water nice and clean and you should see it start to look better within a few days. if you do use salt make sure you only add what you take out. its probably just annoying him a bit, if he really hates it he'll scratch it off himself or something. what did he cut his lip on? oscars are one of those fish that if they can hurt themselves on it they will :lol: good luck and let us know how he gets on!

Pegasus Posted June 9, 2006 Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Might also be good to check the tank for small sharp rocks or shells that he may be moving around, as these guys are great excavators. Bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
