After the high chlorine problem of last week in which i saved my 4 2yo silver sharks and two tiger barbs, I have noticed that 1 of the silver sharks has an ulcer on its side and the other has an ulcer, looks like a hole on it's nose. They all have what looks like white burns on their noses.
What is the best medication to add to the water to get rid of ulcers??

ulcers??
The best thing you can do to treat the open wound is to rub neosporia cream into the wound. Feeding a medicated food would stop secondary infections and adding Malachite Green to the tank would help stop fungus infections.......Frank

Neosporin? OMG I never even thought of that for fish. *thwaps head* I've always used mercurichrome (Manual of Fish Health suggests it) but it's getting harder and harder to find. Nice to learn a new alternative.

I haven't used mercurichrome in over 20 years. Neosporin works a lot quicker and doesn't leave the orange trail from the fish. If the open wound/s are not near the eyes and gills, it's best to clean the wound with a soft brush and peroxide once a day (keeping it away from the eyes and gills). The Neosporia Cream should be applyed twice a day....... Frank
