Hi all..I noticed that my senegal had red markings which seem to be scratch/scrape marks but im not really to sure if they are or if they're bite marks from other bichirs or cichlids in the tank:confused: ...what do you guys think? its the only one in the tank with such injuries:( , has this happened to anyone before cause bichirs are known for they're tough scales...any info would help, thanks:)

i cant see the scratches that well on your photos :( but i think i know what you are talking about and i too have expierienced these little red lines on the belly of one my sens. i just did a good water change and dosed the tank with some aquarium salt. it went away within 3 days.
 
I would put it in the hospital tank and medicate or at least so you can better observe it. I can't really tell from the picture but it might not be just scratches.
