Injured pleco???

[calfishguy]

I have a pleco with what seems to be a scrape on the back of his head? He is in my 55, please see my profile for stock. All params are fine. Will he be okay?

Here's a pic.

I would imagine he will be okay, plecos are tough. Just keep the water nice and clean and he should heal up nicely.

You might want to find what it is that scratched him because if it can hurt a pleco it could really injure a less hardy fish.

It may be from squeezing in to tight places. But he will be ok.

Yeah I'm thinking that he tried to squeeze between my intake and glass.

I have a bristle nose and he allws has patches.
