wtf is this on my striped raphael catfish

[jeyy88]

we were doing a water change today and the raphael came out of his favourite hiding place (a piece of driftwood) with this on one of his sides- it looks like a fungus or something growing on him or maybe he scraped it up on the driftwood?

Its like a little white patch and im wondering what it is and how to get rid of it

looks like a scrape to me but im no expert. im sure someone will chime in with a better answer than me.

sorry this should prob be moved to the illness section but i can't figure out how to do it

its just scraping due to them squeezing them selves into tight spots i have one outta a group that is scraped up lick that, just clean water and it will heal right up!!

Ditch the gravel and get some nice sand.
