I went into a LFS today that I stop in every once in a while. I couldn't believe my eyes when I glanced into one of their displays and saw this fish. As you can see from the pics, the fins are shredded, it has ICH, its top fin bones are sticking out from its flesh. Apparently somebody had the bright idea to put this fish in with a Niger Trigger. Following what they found left in the morning, they then put it into a 30 gallon with a huge Tomatoe Clown and about 15 damsels for "rehab". I knew this fish wouldn't make it overnight, so I bought it out of pitty for $5. My question is ... WHERE DO I EVEN START? I have a quarantine, but what should I put in the tank? I'd hypo the tank to get rid of the ich, but I don't think it would even have enough strength to survive that stress. Once I acclimate, I'm going to dose with Melafix. Does anybody have any ideas? I'm not a softie, but I'm really set on saving this fish.
