Nasty wound

[yo_fish_boi]

My rtc has a small wound.looked like injury from a driftwood or something.i don't believe it's done by a tank mate.tank mates are 3 bichirs,1 tsn,1 spotted gar.

cant help without pictures, i would be wary of the gar

Idk about the gar doing it. It would have to be pretty aggressive. Gars normally aren't aggressive to fish they can't easily eat.

Ooops!forgot to include to pics.
I agree that it's not the gar judging by the looks and position of the wound.whatever caused this,i need advice on how i can help him heal/recover.

Looks like a Heater burn.
Can he hide near the heater?

your right thats not a gar wound... i have seen some nasty things done by gar, used to find half fish in my pond every week or so, he was kinda leaning towards favoring the flavor of red devils
