 | Injured Swordtail Tail |
Aqua Newbie n MS Hobbyist Posts: 102 Votes: 1 Registered: 01-Jan-2006   | I recently introduced 2 new female swordtails into a tank that only had 1 male swordtail in it. The whole first day he chased and nipped at their tails but seems to have gotten used to them now and calmed down. Both of the females have a noticeable chunk of damaged tissue on their tail and I was wondering if I should treat it with some sort of medication to keep it from getting infected. Ideas? |

Since your swordtails are already stressed due to their injuries you want to make sure that their living conditions are optimal. |
