Flash is missing another scale. His first scratch is nearly healed, but now there's another injury, just above the anal fin closer to the ventrals. He's received another light dose of dissolved aquarium salts, and I removed the planted lid. I can't imagine now, that he's hurting himself on the bridge decor, while Pinkie has nary a scratch and his decor piece has teeth (I did file those down some). Maybe it's an edge of stem where they were cut when I trimmed the original Pothos plant? If he gets another injury I'll know it's the bridge, though...
Also, it's odd that all three injuries are on his right side. Must be a pattern in how he swims around the bowl, where he scratches himself on something.
Otherwise he seems fine- alert, brilliant color, good appetite. And his neighbor Pinkie is well as usual:

Is that a cat skull in Pinkie's bowl?
Yes- fake of course- supposed to be "jaguar skull" said the label at the store. I just thought it looked cool and he likes to hide in there. I'm trying to get the java moss to grow on top.
