Cuttet

[sabrina]

Hi, I just noticed that my Mrs. Hyde is having a small cut in her tail. It's not complete through but its a little bit bleeding. I suppose he cut herself somewhere on a deco in the aquarium. What do I need to do now ? She's looking find for the rest, walking around, eating etc....

Here's a pic from Mrs. Hyde tail.....
I already installed my second small aquarium, in case if you are telling me that I need to get her out for healing her, waiting for your help and advice ? Thanks

Mine had a cut like that. I left it alone. It healed on it's own. I've heard of some people putting aloe or some kind of stress coat in the water. I don't know what kind . If Mrs. Hyde is eating and acting fine I think it will heal on it own. But having the second tank ready to go is a good idea.

Any other reactions - help or advice ?

That's a nice slice...
I would recommend a drop of aloe oil, well mixed into the water. Make sure it's PURE oil, not essential.
However, I know a lot of keepers don't agree with using aloe, so use at your own discretion.
I've had a lot of success stories with it personally, and use it whenever one of my pets gets hurt.
