Marcelo Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Hi Everyone I have two Angles that are living together since about 1 year. They are together with other small tetras, neons and etc. they were friends and no issues at all. I have noticed lately both of them fighting and I have been thinking about what to do but looks like I spent so much time thinking and as a consequence, looks like one is hurt. 1) do you believe this is some disease? Or this is what I think it is - consequence of their fight? 2) I moved him to my hospital tank. Is there something I could give him to help in the healing process or only take care of him and he will heal with time? pH 6 to 7 Nitrates about 0 Hardness 4.5 Nitrite 0 Ammonia 0 KH/Buffer about 4.5 too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That looks a lot like a fight mark. Try preventing it getting infected and fungusing, and maybe consider rehoming one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
