I was about to feed my pink convict fry this morning and noticed the bristlenose they share a tank with is missing an eye
. 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.

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

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
