ok it all started with my red devil picking on him, this went on for a week and a half before we found something to partition the tank, he started hanging out in top corner of 120 gal tank not eating much not swimming around just hiding out. then his skin and scales were looking ragged out. after we seperated him he seemed to start swimming around more but we noticed slices of scales coming off and raw red skin underneath so i went to the pet shop gt maracyn2 w/ b vitamins in it to treat him and it seems to have made him worse.. now hes not swimming around instead he is laying on the bottom of the tank upside down and looks pained to move. hes still breathing but hes lathargic, wont eat and sides are all raw i dont know what to do.. y did it get wrse after adding the meds? btw water levels fine temp fine all otehr fish fine just him. he was my strongest fish now hes....if i have forgotten anything or you have any questions email me at vababie514@msn.com and is there a way i can post pics on here so i can show you first hand what im talking about??? scared for his life now.. hope to hear back soon any help advise is appreciated

I'm sorry to hear about your Green Terror. The Maracyn 2 w/B vitamins did not add to the problem. The damage from the Red Devil was already there under the scales. As Jay said you can add Melafix or StressZyme to help aid the regrowth. Other than that (given the good tank conditions) you've done about everything you can do. Don't get into the situation of spending a small fortune on a fish that will most likely not make it. I'm not saying this to be cold or cruel, but to make you aware of the probability.
