That wood looks really good. I'd try not to take that out if I were you.It could be that concrete looking rock. I would take that out and see if they continue to get it. If not, leave it out. That kind of thing probably won't kill them though. And it could be just from each other, and have nothing to do with the rocks.

is that feather rock? If they brush up on that it can seriously damage their scales and skin

yes i think it might be feather rock i bought it at a salt water store just looked neat

get rid of it asap and get some smooth river rock/flag stones, or anything else relatively smooth to the touch. I lost a couple of fish with feather rock, usually through skin infections caused by it!

Yea i agree loose the rocks... The wood looks great though..

yea .. most likely from rough housing combined with the rock or other structures being in their way.. that wood does look good but the bigger they get the more room they are going to need for swoopen and sliden
btw you should prob take that rock out either way.. most likely it contains lime or buffing agients.. not so great for freshwater unless you have african cichlids or a saltwater setup
