About Christy Expertise I can answer some questions regarding freshwater fish ranging from their care to diagnosing common diseases or problems with the fish. I can also answer questions regarding the care and maintenance of an aquarium. I haven't had much luck with live plants, so can't help in that area very much. Not real good with explaining salt water or brackish set ups too well either. Also regarding goldfish, I have some comets, and have a little experience with them but mostly just general info on them. I AM NOT THAT FAMILIAR WITH ANY OF THE FANCY VARIETIES OF GOLDFISH. YOU MIGHT BE BETTER DIRECTING THOSE QUERIES TO AN EXPERT MORE FAMILIAR WITH THEM. If I can't answer or don't know something, I'll let you know, so don't be upset if I reject your question, I'll always explain why. I would just rather not answer then give an answer I'm not confident about.
Experience All personal, first hand, general fishkeeping experience. I've had fresh water aquariums now for about 7 years. I've had tropical/community fish tanks, African cichlids, South American cichlids, brackish water puffer fish, and a lot of other varieties in between.
Education/Credentials None, all personal experience

By god grace small flowerhorn is alive but excessive injured.Now small is not moving he is sleeping but alive wings all are shaking.How will we rescue from this stage. Pls tell me something i want to protect them frm injured
Answer Hi Rathisaravanan
It would be best to keep the smaller one in a separate tank for now if you can. That way it won't be stressed by seeing the larger fish.
Keep the water quality excellent by doing frequent partial water changes every few days. That will help prevent infection in the wounds. Also keep an eye out for any signs of infections as well.
Keep the light off in it's tank, and try not to disturb him for awhile, give him a chance to calm down. Don't try to feed him for awhile either. I would wait until later tonight or tomorrow even before attempting to feed him.
Sorry I can't offer any more help then that, that's really all you can do at this point. Good luck and hope he makes it! Let me know if you have any more questions.
