Aggression ?

[Perryuk]

My venustus has a couple of White blisters type things on one side of its lip seems happy eating fine though he did have bust up with my blue dolphin a little lip locking do you think it's result of that if so do I need to do anything ? An if not any ideas as to what could be ?
Thanks perry

Do you have a picture? If they've been fighting that is probably the cause. If they don't stop or if the fighting gets worse it can cause death to one or the other because of stress or fighting.

If the venustus' lip blisters are 'battle damage' they should heal up all on their own within 10 days (assuming no further lip-locking events occur during this time frame).

I'm not familiar with fish diseases so I can't say for sure that the blisters are from lip locking.
