Tank: 20 gallons Long
AC200 filter
Tons of floating hornwort
Java moss

6 emerald eyed rasboras
2 bristlenose plecos (1m, 1f)
3 bronze cories
3 brochis cats (emerald cory cats)


I'm at work right now, but before I left, I noticed that my largest brochis cat had two vertical ( II style) red marks on his left flank.

I've never had any aggression problems in this tank before, but I'm thinking Goliath (said cat in question) may have intruded on the male pleco's territory....and gotten nailed for it.

I added some Melafix before I left....does anyone have any idea how a brochis cat could get marks like that? There are no sharp anythings in the tank, smooth gravel, a few java moss covered ornaments, and driftwood.

I'm thinking it's the male pleco doing this....the same cat had ANOTHER bloody streak in his left side, up by his pectoral fin.

And the male pleco is "flashing" those odd cheek spike things, whatever the technical term is.....
