Hi, All:

Need some advice - I have a pair of breeding angels in my 100G tall hex that laid their eggs on the filter intake pipe - i left them be until they all turned white (not viable and getting fuzzy) so I decided to scrape them off before they got too moldy. Well, the angels, needless to say, got angry and tho I tried very hard to keep them from harm by blocking my dull plastic scraper with my hand the larger one (female?) came underneath and rammed into it and now has a dent on the top of her head.

My question is, should I just leave it and watch to see if it gets worse or should I immediately treat with Melafix? The other species in the tank are bloodfin tetras, iranian red rainbows, clown loaches, apistogrammas agassizii pair, electric blue and balloon rams, and a peacock eel (about 10 inches long). Last PWC was three days ago (NO2 O ppm, NO3 5 ppm, Ph 7.8, NH3/NH4 0 ppm)

Pic attached is best I could get. Any advice is totally appreciated.....thanks.

Ok o can't tell from the pic but is it like a bump on our head or is it like a open wound.....

I think that would make the diffrence....

(Usually when eggs go bad the pair will eat them.... So I won't worry next time!)
