daharley October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 Got home from work today and my moorish idol has what appears to be a knife wound. I assume he pushed his lick with one of the tangs he is probably the most pushy fish in the tank. Is there anything I should do to help him out or just let him be. He is swimming around as much as ever and still eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunWyrm October 26, 2011 Share October 26, 2011 I would just put in some marine stress coat for him and leave him as long as it doesn't get worse. <3 Stress coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 I would just let it be. I have seen the same puncture wounds and cuts from tangs and they have never caused any deaths. If it starts to look like it is getting infected then medicate the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surf&turf October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 My Kole sliced my female tomato clown from her top fin to her bottom. It healed just fine. She just has a little scar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coral Hind October 27, 2011 Share October 27, 2011 Yeah, they do leave nice clean cuts. Maybe that's why they call them scalpels and surgeonfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
