Injured True Perc?

RedSoxReefer · 04/03/2007, 12:46 PM

I have a pair of true percs that seemed to be doing fine for the first 3 weeks that I have had them but I have just noticed that one has a cut on his chin/jaw. It doesnt look so great but the fish is still eating. I assume that this is from fighting although i never have seen them fight yet. Will this kill the fish, or will he heal and is there a possibility that this may be some kind of mouth disease or infection? Also is there anything i should besides let nature take its course?

thanks, dan
