I found one of my L201 really chewed up and fungus has set in already.
I took him/her out and touched the fungus area and it slurried off taking any adipose fin left with it.
I daubed betadine(liquid iodine) on it to stop bleeding and kill the fungus left.
Blew on it to dry as much as I could and dropped Prime liquid over the top to stimulate a slime coat if theres any chance of growing one back.
I medicated the tank with Protozin and a bit of aquarium salt 1teasp for good measure. Tank is well airated.
The fish seemed pretty mobile (you would be too with your butt on fire) and set itself up behind a cave where the powerhead could blow some good water circulation over it.
I am not good at doing these things at 2am. It coulda shown itself during the day when my mind is functioning lol.
As you can see, its a pretty bad injury and deep. Fins crossed it pulls thru.
