My tinfoil has an odd colour thing on the scale, looks internal infection well not sure or it could be just damage scale since I have a lot of driftwood in my tank.

Anyone know? this is probably the best pic.

just keep an eye on it. bacterial infections usually manifest themselves as bleeding or blood streaks in the fins and eyes. that looks more like an injury from pointy driftwood to me.

you may have to remove all wood with large active fish in the tank.

are you doing regular water changes? if not, that puts your fish at greater risk of bacterial infection.

bacterial infections are almost never a problem in good water quality environments.

Yeah i do a water change once a week since i got big fishes in my tank. I recently added mono angels and they hurt them selves too much which is what i think is causing the problem - Im gonna give them to my friends since they cause too many heart aches for me.
