Hey everyone
I believe my swordtail has sustained an injury from my Chinese Algae Eater. Ever since I moved my pregnant platy to her own aquarium the swordtail has become almost entranced by the CAE. He'll swim around his house and poke his head inside and sometimes I think he may be displaying to him (which is weird because I don't think they can interbreed, but maybe I'm wrong). The algae eater does not take it well, often times he will go after the swordtail and chase him away. In one of these scenarios, he caught up to him and got his mouth on this body. This was about 3 days ago. As I was watching him today it seems as if a couple of his scales are injured and seem to be hanging off. Here is a picture and a video(it's that brown thing on his back)
