Situation

Postby ILLYOUNG on Thu Jan 24, 2008 10:17 pm

Hey, a few days ago I came home and noticed some skin missing from the top of one of my O's I figured he or she had either been fighting or run into one of the rocks. The next day it look to be healing. Then today I came home one of the other O's have two marks on him/her. Middle of the head (not hole in the head thoe) doesnt look like anyway. And one on the right side right below of the top fin. The one by the top fin is maybe half inch long. As I look at the other fish his/hers has pretty much healed up. I do have 3 O's in there for thoes that I have talked to before. Do you think they are fighting?  Thanks :pain10:

Fighting is certainly possible.  Do you have any filter intakes that they could scrape themselves on while rough-housing?

tmbsup Dont feel bad....one of my 2 large o's does that almost weekly.....thats why his name is Scarface......usually gets a scrape or 2 when he "big fishes" and swims fast and does his little turns in his tank.....and yes they heal pretty fast........ :occasion14:
