flagtail missing scales

[shern]

greetings all, my flagtail always been missing scales but h just noticed him missing a couple more than usual, is this of any concern?
he’s eating well, params are fine but the ntt dat sometimes chases him away when he gets territorial, i’ve never seen the dat attack the flag though, some chasing at best. thoughts?

here’s a picture of the other side, honestly looks like some scales are uneven rather than off

Looks like attack wounds.

I agree it looks like damage from aggression. What’s the tankmates?

You counting the dead tiger? You had three?

If the dat was picking on it, it could be the culprit.
Rearranging the decor or adding more breaks in the line of sight may help out.

the main piece I have in the tank is a bit too large to be moved with barely any change, done a couple of times though, weird cause the data only seems to target the flag when the flag is much larger, he's fine with the bichir, aro, and eel which are all smaller than him.

My guess is the dat, I had a dat do this to many of my fish and the wounds looked the same as this
