Fish Injured

[Fr0zEn4244]

I have a 5" Clarkii Clownfish. He got attacked by another clarkii clown or hit a rock not really sure but he injured his side to the point there are no scales in that area and you can actually see the white layer under the scales clearly.

Its a good chunk. But he has now developed cloudy eye. Could this be because the injury? Will this heal on its own? He is very fat I feed 2 cubes of frozen food 2x per day with selcon, garlic, and vit-c. I also give Tera-a and full spectrum pellets once a day.

One eye or both? If just one eye, I suspect the eye suffered injury as well. Both eyes usually indicates infection setting in.

It's hard to say whether or not a fish will bounce back from something like this without antibiotic treatment. But being it's a hardy fish, I'd say the odds are on your side. Soaking his food in vitamin supplements will help right now.

If his condition worsens, you may need to QT & treat. Although I've never used it personally, Nitrofuracin Green Powder would probably be ideal for this situation.
