I found my female cactoides today. The male beat her up real bad. She has a couple of sores on her body and her tail is a mess. I've got her where she is safe now. Aside from antibiotics which damage the filter bacteria and salt, does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can treat her? She is sitting around on the bottom, but her dorsal fin is still up. Up until now she was very healthy and grew up on a good diet. She still has lots of reserves as long as she is removed from stress. The male goes back to the lfs. Good riddance to bad rubbish. G.
