First Aid

[fisherwoman]

Hi, I just found my false percula laying on the floor (I don't know how long he was there) and I put him back in and he's swimming very slowly and breathing pretty labored. My big ol' fire shrimp is lurking nearby, sensing that the percula is stressed out and I'm concerned he won't make it through the night without being attacked. Any tips on MacGuyvering a quarantine situation in a pinch and/or corraling the fireshrimp? I'm pretty attached to the percula. Thanks alot

do you have a sump? You could always put one in there until its better. Also a clear tupperware container w/holes drilled all thru it can serve as a temp house for the shrimp.

Quarantine him ASAP so you can keep him isolated and away from all the stress. More than likely he will not make it if his breathing doesn't change. If you have any stress coat, that might help a bit.
