heal 100%? what were the injuries? mine are a few ugly fallen off blackened scales and a nasty scratch at the forehead. also all the fins are badly tattered. will the scales grow back to the same color? The scaleless areas are blackened.
For example i had 2 almost 30 cm mala´s in the same tank,they started fighting and the smaller one hanged on the bigger ones head with it´s jaws,looked like someone had run a lawnmover over its head but it survived and got better in a few days.
I´ve had malas with parachromis species and you could imagine how beat up a 30cm mala becomes after asking fo a fight with a 35cm HUGE fat Jag.People can say what they want but smaller wolf-species are teddybears as long as you have anything meaner than them in the same tank.
With the fins and the colours i dont know.I´ve had snakeheads and polypterus who got badlly fin-nipped,it healed quick.But with sort of a differnt pattern on them.The mala i have now got fin-nipped by my big lapradei,it grew back quick and with the same pattern.But then again,its not nearly as coloured as a red/purp erythrinus
