so as of yesterday this tang had some lateral line issues and has been doing great in the tank. eats like a pig.. fat and was healing. Feeding nori with selcon, LRS and mysis. Today I see he has what looks like new issues .. not sure if flukes.. other fish in tank all doing well. eating and fat. no other signs of flukes.. Thoughts?

Hard to tell. My three tangs go at one another all the time and take bits outta one another. None are worse for the wear and heal up nicely. Other tangs present?

Only guessing but without clear, crisp, close up photos that's all I can offer.

he is healed.. up... nicely... was scars or battle wounds... there is some Latteral line issues.. which for me only seem to go away some when i add selcon to the food mix. I feed heavy LRS Mysis and more and still was having latteral line issues.. its only when I add Selcon that it starts to look better..
