Injured Potters Wrasse.

[bpcardona]

I got a potters wrasse yesterday and upon putting him in the QT tank, he squeezed himself through a square in some egg crate. In doing so he has injured himself pretty good. Take a look and give recommendation please.

Anyone have success treating injuries like these?

If he's eating, you can try soaking vitamin supplements in the food to give his immune system a boost which, in turn, might accelerate the healing process. Only other thing I can think of is treating with Nitrofuracin Green Powder, which is supposedly good for healing wounds. No actual experience with that product though; just from what I've read.
