[noname777]

Hi...need some advice here as the L046 juvs getting bigger, "fight" often break out and below is one of the "injured" fish.

Is it serious? :confused:

Need your valuable advice here. Thanks:)

Just bite mark. It is ok. If your zebra is not ready to breed. Don't put cave that offers no escape. Put caves that have thru' holes at the end. This way you will prevent sub adult zebra from being trapped and killed by bigger adult

Hi Barmby,

Thanks for your swift advice. ;) Appreciate that

That is a very very very minor "wound".
I have had specimens that had a whole half of the black stripes erased along with some shredded skin dangling.
And obviously the worst scenario is kills from cave trapping.

They are pretty though and I never medicated for these wounds.
But do monitor as fungus may develop and then cause death from secondary infection.
