An old cure that works well on wounds is to wrap the fish in a wet paper towel with water from the aquarium and get a qtip swab and dab some mercurochrome on the wounds. Just be careful not to get any in the gill area. Keeping her in a tank with a little acriflavin works well also. I prefer to avoid medications until I absolutly have, heavy water changes, a clean environment, and maybe a little salt works wonders. Hope your little fish gets better :) == David Sanchez Casselberry, FL http://www.mindspring.com/~barbax barbax2@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
