So one of my baby flowerhorns has some white on his side. Tank water is ok and he is acting completely fine. Im guessing it's a scrap but wanted to get some other opinions.IMG_20190822_201349.jpg
 
Looks to be a scrape.

Yeah looks like a scrape -- when my FH gets similar if it's a light scrape I don't really do anything (just make sure water is clean so no secondary infection); if more than a light scrape then I would usually add a bit of salt to his water. By the way, nice looking Kamfa should turn out to be a beauty.

I added some salt to the water right after posting. Seems to already be healing.
