Get some melafix that should help with the ripped fin.

I agree! Put the injured fish in a quarintine tank and take out active carbon and treat w/ melifix (for one of mine it took about 2 weeks to get it fully treated) it depends on the injuries... w/ just a tail it shouldn't take as long Melifix is GREAT stuff!!

Is Melafix and Pimafix safe to use in a tank with fry?

Allie

Personally I wouldn't. I am sure others may have tho.

i would suggest NEVER to use chems with fry i lost a few due to a minor amount used

Thanks! Actually, there's no need anymore. The fish's eye has cleared up. I think it was just an injury. Did some water changes and added some salt.
