Not a disease, but need info on meds

[clarkiiboi]

Ok, I gotta give some background info. I added what I thought was a lawnmower blenny at the time, did some research and come to find out its really a black sailfin, Ember, or Red Streaked Blenny, depends on which site I look at (all in all its a Cirripectes Stigmaticus). Anyways, it seemed aggressive to new additions and then would back off in a matter of hours. (even got "mad" at new snails!!!!) Here's the problem---added my flame angel and of course it went after it, and backed off (so I thought), now after 4 days the flame has all its fins nipped off to the point of it cant swim right and having a hard time eating. Seriously, it is using its body to move, not the fins, which in turn is exhausting it. So the Flame is in a Hospital tank now----what is a good treatment to help with regeneration of the fins? I truely mean he tore the crap outta the fins, the side ones and the tail. Thanks in advance!

Be sure to maintain optimum water quality in the hospital. Feed the fish garlic soaked food. If you feed twice a day, alternate between garlic food and food soaked in zoe or zoecon. For now, don't medicate. Fish are good at self-repair. Just keep an eye on the fish in the event that you need to deal with an infection.
If that occurs, then you will need to use Maracyn2 for SWF. You might look around beforehand to be sure that you can get this locally if need be.

TY soooooo much, which is better, zoe or zoecon? Who makes it? (ie. Kent, ect.) It really looks bad, and there is a huge repair factor here----literally cant see the "clear" part of the fins, its gone! Want to kick myself in the ars right now! But want to get the best for it, the water is perfect, hell better than the main tank!!! (Still cant figure that one out, but....) Thanks again Beth
