Hey guys!

So the other day my FH thought he was real tough and tried to fight the filter Intake. He managed to gash his head pretty good. It's healing up really well though. No worries there. I did notice earlier today that on his sides he's got a few patches of scales that seem... Off. I don't want to say they're raised but they just don't look right.

I'm thinking that in his grand battle he managed to scrape up his sides a bit but I thought I'd ask your opinion. What do you guys think?

He's eating great, no issues moving, color is all there as well. Treated with a bit of melafix

Last pic is from before the incident.

Don’t look too bad. Keep the water clean. Can add some salt at 1 tsp per gallon. Swab the area with a qtip dipped in betadine daily for 3 days.
