Hi there;
I am wondering if you guys can take a look at these pics and tell me what is happening to my orange shoulder . He has a brown spot and it appears to get bigger day after day. Some folks at a LFS told me it was just a bruise. What do you think ? He is currently still eating okay. The first pic was taken yesterday or two days ago. And the sec pic taken today . As you can see it seems to be bigger.
Thanks for your helps

Looks like an injury (but we idon'thave enough information to decide). The redness is somewhat concerning - is it the same or worsening, improving?

Im seeing this as a very familiar bite mark and what other occupants do you have in the tank? This is circular and consistent with a sting or bite in many cases

Thank you. My suspects:
Sohal
purple
Clowns.

If you havent noticed any aggression, next time you feed,
set your cell phone on video mode for about 30 mins and drop a little food and walk away - YOU MUST walk away as they know youre there. Often the aggressor is a bully at feeding time.
Review the video and see who it may be
