Hello,

That is too bad he tore off the scab that was on his beard. You will need to use some antibiotic ointment on it so it doesn't get infected.
Do you have loose substrate? If so you will need to be careful that it doesn't get too much dirt & debris in the wound, or just replace it with paper towels until it is all healed up.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
