i have not been able to get a solid pic as of yet so sorry for no visual yet, im still trying but i want to get on top of this ASAP and id like some opinions before i do anything.
My Palmas Polli i got from Rt4 seems to have a red "scratch" on its belly, i only noticed an hour after introducing my 4 inch TATF. Could the TATF be responsible? the palmas polli is 5 inches and thick, probably an inch and a half around. I also did change up the tank recently by adding 2 marineland 600 powerheads for current for the TATF, so maybe trying to stay on the bottom he got scratched by a piece of fine gravel? in the tank is a mix of caribsea gold and black sand and a small amount of fine gravel i wasn't able to get out when switching substrates. Or is there a kind of worm that does this? i havent found anything suggesting there is but i want to be sure. Its not bleeding as far as i can tell.
Let me know if i need to QT him ASAP i think it may be a superficial scratch but i want to be sure! Does anyone have exp with ATF swiping bigger fish with their jaws? maybe he was getting a little too close for comfort to the TATF? I will update with pics soon as i can get one
