Re: Head injury?

["Tony" <loxxxo@comcast.net>]

ohh ok...ohhhh yea he turned out ok It was just a dark patch about 1/4 of
inch round circle on his head...part of the reason why he would got it in
the first place was because I had some breeders in there and <I didn't know
it tho at the time> Anyway when I turn down the lights in the living room  I
notice him started to swim towards that heater area, then when I went to
turn of Aqua light he would make a sudden "dart" right between that section
of the heater and glass he couldn't even fit in there but he forced it
...hehe...what he was really was doing was hiding...I didn't understand
it....I think all hell was breaking loose when the lights went
out....Anyway, he stopped eating for a few days and he seem like he tilted
his head a tad bit...I put him in 29 quarin. added salt, and a little
melafix warmed up the tank abit blocked the heater so he would be able to
squeeze through...he never really went to the heater after that ...that was
just his "hidin" place when the room was darker...he turned out okkie tho,
healed in about 8 days...put him back into the "big" after that...
