I was about to feed my pink convict fry this morning and noticed the bristlenose they share a tank with is missing an eye :shock: . Does it need any treatment to heal the wound? Just keep the water super clean? I plan to remove all but one or two of the fry today.

Do you all think he will make it? I hope so. :cry:

Hi!

First it will be better if you take him out to avoid him losing it second eye!

If you keep a close eye on his lost one and with a good water quality, he should be fine...

Cheers
Yann

Thanks Yann,

I did a water change on the tank about an hour ago. 40%. I have removed the convicts out of that tank. Hopefully he will make it through the stress of losing an eye.

I think the main problem was just too many convicts in the tank.

The bristlenose is still roaming the tank looking for food. It just looks gruesome with a red hole where there used to be an eye :?
