To euthanize or not...

[AlyKat]

Ok, today Sharkey has got a chunk of what appears to be bloody flesh hanging from those spots over his eye...I've salted, water changed and medicated...the meds the LFS gave me I soaked the food in, but he won't eat. *SICK*

Other fishies are picking on him as well today...

What should I do? A few responses would be REALLY appreciated at this point...I don't wanna lose him, but I'm not sure what else I can do...

I also post in the freshwater gen discussion category cuz I want to expose this as much as possible...thanks!

I would keep him for 1-2 more days, just to see how he copes with it. If hes not doing well, then it may be time to euth. him. If he does well and its starting to heal, then leave him. Then again, see how your other fish react to him over a period of time.
