Default curing anemone stings
I have a fish that got a little bit too curious about a BTA and got stung pretty badly and appears to be in dire straights, I put him in a hospital tank and added some stress coat+ to help soothe him. Is there anything that I can do to try and help him out?

Make sure that little fish get the proper nutrition it needs and DO NOT let it get stressed any more than it is. I have not seen your fish so I cant say its gonna die and I also cant say its gonna live. Do everything you can do and the rest is up to mother nature.

antibiotic for infections on the skin...feed Metronidazole mixed with food.

Its prescribed by vets for animals and doctors for humans also!

Gee Ryan...I am looking all over the internet for it. I just get it at a LFS. Ill keep looking and try to find a place online selling it. In the meantime heres a link to Seachems website explaining a little what it is. If I cant find a place on line and you still want to use it Ill get some and send it. Cost last tube I bought was $8.
