Hi,
I'm new to this group, my name is Amy. Donna from Froggy friends told me to join here to get some help with my goldfish.
Any help much appreciated. I was cleaning tank out today and by accident my lionhead goldfish investigated the siphon and his face got sucked in, it was so quick :( and now he has a flap of skin hanging from underneath his mouth. He also has a gash on his back.
I have removed him from the main tank and put him into a small 5 gal tank with a bubbler. I used stress coat and prime. I didnt do any ammonia etc because i used prime and the water has only a bit from the old tank, its predominantly new water. I can do it if required though.
I added 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt.
There is no blood or redness, the gash on the back i can see silver like his scales have come off. His mouth is just as if when you cut your finger and theres a fap of skin hanging. I can imagine its very painful I feel terrible, it was a horrible accident.
I cant find my melafix but am sending bf to the lfs tomorrow now, because its nearly midnight. I am in the uk so dont have access to antibiotics and some other things.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I should do, because my poor marshmallow must be sore and i feel helpless.
Amy x
