Injured Blue Ram 5 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
hi guys

recently added a young blue ram to my tank, he/she has been getting on great and settled in well, but when i got home today the little guy had gotten his head stuck in my plants, the others took advantage of this and nipped alot of his tail off.

Hes still trying to eat and swim but hes not doing so well.
Ive moved him to a separate tank (basin with a heater/some plants but dont know if he will last.

is there anything else I can do?

thanks!

Sounds like a bizarre scenario, what type of plants - real / plastic? How was he caught. What other fish are in the tank that would feast on his tail? Are you sure it is not fin rot on his tail and he is just hiding on the plants because he is miserable? Any chance of a photo?

Watch the basin dosent over heat. You need to add an air stone to oxygenate the water.
If you think he/she will recover treat with Esha 2000. Dont have him/her in bright light so the stress will be reduced.
A photo would realy help to see how bad the damage is.
