Question
I have recently aquired a newer tank (65 Gallon)and have a lemon oacar which is about 8 inchs long. A tigar that is about three to four inchs long.  Both seem to be fine??? But they both will scrape themselves themselves on the bottom and the tigar has flesh scrapes.

Could this be Flukes disease????

Tahnk-You for your time

Answer
Hi Todd,
  Are you doing lots of regular partial water changes?  You should be changing 25% of the water once a week, every week to keep them happy and healthy.
