Fun times. I'm supposed to be going on holidays OS for a month and just noticed these patches on a couple of my fish while doing some prep.

Can I please get help with an ID on whether these are aggression marks or perhaps Brook? Or something else? Very stressed right now.

I'm fairly sure they have popped up in last 24 hours.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for clear videos. Both fish have rub marks and in video are scratching likely from Flukes based on behaviors. You can treat in display although I prefer quarantine using PraziPro treatment. For treatment, to be safe , dose at 85% of recommended and apply initial dosage known as an interval for 8 days, do a water change and do one more 8 day dose interval.
Use airstone with prazi as it does reduce both oxygen and appetite. If you treat in display and have bristleworms or feather dusters, you will likely lose them. Also keep an eye on Majestic angel for signs of infection from scratching

@vetteguy53081 I've dosed prazi and turned up the airstone I have in the tank. Removed carbon and turned off the skimmer as well.

Fish seem to be reacting a heck of a lot better than I've seen with Prazi in the past so fingers crossed.
