Firefish help!

[Kremlin]

My helfrichi fire fish got stung by bristle worms overnight. He also got some scratches on one side. Will he be ok? thx

That's a tough call. It could go either way. I'd say the best thing to do here is nothing. Hopefully it will heal on it's own.

Agree w/Dave. Best to do nothing, not to mess with the fish, but monitor it. Make sure your WQ is maintained and keep the fish fed a variety of food high in vitamins and proteins for it to help heal.
