How Do You Heal Injured Clown Knife Fish Help!!!?
You should definitely use MelaFix, but Jools is wrong about reducing the dose. While its true that your knife fish is scaleless and that most medications need to be cut in half for scaleless fish (if they can even be used at all), MelaFix is not one of them. MelaFix is totally natural and has been proven safe for even the most delicate of scaleless fish. You do, however, need to remove your activated carbon from your filter when you dose the tank, because the carbon will remove the medication from the tank water. You need to definitely keep him separated until he heals, and if the flowerhorn continues to attack him, you will need to keep them in separate tanks permanently. But remember that clown knives are HUGE fish….They can be comfortable in a 55gal tank up to around 10″, but if you plan on having a clown knife long term, then you will need a tank that is an absolute minimum of 300 gallons, and bigger is always better. And by the way, your neons and danios will definitely be eaten
