I just noticed that two of my angels have some kind of cut and i don't know if it could be something harmful. Do you know what could have happened?ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1458862262.922130.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1458862276.638729.jpgImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1458862284.402570.jpg

There's two gouramis and I haven't noticed any aggression between the two. There's no other fish in the tank except corys

What about decorations, filter pipes, types of gouramis, etc? Think about what can cause a scratch and see if that could have happened in your tank.
 
They're blue gouramis and I have one piece of decoration that could have caused it but I don't know if they're small enough to go into it and get hurt

The "scratches" look more like a dent than a scratch so I would have to say they were created by a fish more than an object. Since its on both fish, it's kinda hard to think that both fish could have found 1 sharp thing to bump into so it would be either an attack by the Gourami(s) or other fish or the 2 Angels sparring. Unless they get worse, happen more frequently or you see the fish actually getting hurt, I wouldn't do anything.

Hope this helps. (y)
