Hey everyone I don’t post often and I really should but I’m looking everywhere for advice and this is a likely spot. I’ve got 4 spiny eels right now one 15 inch tire track eel one 5 inch zig zag eel one 10 inch Borneo python eel and my beloved 16 inch fire eel I’ve raised from a baby. He has recently marred his skin up on something it’s almost as if he wrinckled his skin up in one spot and it doesn’t seem to be improving nor getting worse.. just staying wrinkled and has slight discoloration.. it’s been this way for several weeks maybe even 2 months. I will post a picture or two of the spot. Any advice on helping fix his skin blemish is welcome!!
Could it possibly be heater burn?
It almost looks as if it could be a permanent scar, but I can’t tell for sure.

Not likely I have one of those fancy fluvals with the thick plastic cage all around it, what I assume it’s from is he likes to think every pvc tube in the tank is his and will push bichirs out.. one resists and he might have just abraded his skin against the pvc
Mine is the exact same way! yes the day after the injury i used a dremel and files/ rounded all the pvc in the tank.. everyone has they're own tube.. it makes for an ugly tank but for happy fish and thats what matter, i just added a much larger tube but he still stays in his original one the ghost knife has adopted the monster tube.. so it seems that the pvc and maybe some territorial-ness was the cause of the injury. do yall think it will ever return back to normal skin?
