Is my catfish's chin ok?

[balton777]

Sorry, I'm a bit of a catfish newbie. Will you guys look at his chin and tell me if it's normally pink like that or if maybe it's getting irritated by rubbing with the sand? Am I just being paranoid? His chin usually stays off the sand because he has a big belly but I want to make sure he's ok. It's pinker than you can see in the pics because of flash washout. thanx in advance.

Actually he swims in place a lot and wears a hole in the sand. Then his chin seems like it might be rubbing as he wiggles his head side to side, back and forth on the sand as it slopes upwards.

If I'm just say so. You won't hurt my feelings lol.

Where Flamenco-T or BigJ when you need them?

I dont see it being a big deal bro.. Maybe just rubbing a little like you said? No worries they are pretty tuff fish!!

Thanks man. So it doesn't look too irritated then. I just want him to be as comfortable as possible.

He's so awesome....I can see his lines are starting to turn a little now.

My two guy's look like that from time to time.... Sometimes i throw a half dose of melafix just to help... But he looks real nice to me man!!

I agree with BigJ I don't think he will be hurt by it. If you are worried though get some Melafix and dose the tank. That stuff works great.

@balton
your tig is just rubbing its chin a lot on the glass and the substrate
one way to be sure of your cats being healthy is * if they eat well then they are all fine, else something is wrong and thats the time you start to panic *

thats the first time I've heard of that... I have both and can honstly say that there is NO comparision to a jelly and an RTC LOL Except being Fat LOL

may be you should keep both of 'em in the same tank and see how similar they are
