Hello All,
I've had wrasse now for almost a year that has been extremely peaceful in my tank with all other inhabitants. I noticed today a number of abrasions on the right side of the fish and can't tell if it's from a fish attack or if there's some illness the fish has. It appears some of the scales are peeling off. All other fish in the tank appear to be fine, and I have a UV sterilizer running to remove all bad protozoa. I've attached some pictures that hopefully show what I'm seeing, but the video is probably the best to see - hopefully it get's posted correctly. Wrasse2.jpg Wrasse3.jpg Wrasse5.jpg

looks like scrapes, shark is right about treatment, but what other fish are in the tank?
