I know bichirs breath through the top of their head, maybe the bite damaged the area a little bit and it healed over like that. That’s just a guess but maybeI have an endlicheri bichir who survived a gar bite to the head about a month ago. He's doing great but after the attack he's had a spot on his head that inflates and deflates as he breathes. Same color as the bichir. Not sure if it's a hole from the gar bite or if it's part of the bichir's spiracle. Should I be worried? Video link below.

Yeah I'm not 100% sure but most likely just extra flap that healed over the hole? Looks like bichirs naturally already have holes there but hard to see on a fully colored specimen. Here is my white colored congi. Can see the holes.I know bichirs breath through the top of their head, maybe the bite damaged the area a little bit and it healed over like that.

Damn, that gar wasn’t messing around, glad the endi is doing ok
Holy crap glad hes alright, it looks like something straight out of jurassic park lol
Although that is unfortunate you managed to get one awesome picture.
