Aggressive tankmates? Looks like he has some bites and other issues.. the red ulcers are likely wounds. Notice the multiple knicks and dings on the fish.
 
no i have not noticed any agression in the tank. But might well be that the CK´s fight each other during the night..

but i did a 40% water change and added salt to prevent any further damage to the CK´s...
If the markings are wounds, how long does it take for them to heal ?
Just weird that the red spots are on all the knifes and only on the fins (which are a little messed up)
 
i had the same thing happen to my bichir. all i did was turn the temp up to about 82. it went away quickly.
 
i like salt and heat.......

but i would also consider having some melafix around. just in case
