Thanks mate - I've guessing his scratches from the rocks will heal over time ... was just a tad worried that he might be hurting himself

Can you post a picture of the scratches?

The spots around his eyes aren't from the rocks....

That is often refered to lateral line disease and will be resolved slowly if you feed him the proper diet.

Post a pic of the scratches please.

Its not round his eyes and I doubt its lateral line disease as the LFS were feeding greens and so have I, I am 99% sure its from banging into rocks as they suddenly appeared one morning, and he had lovelly colouring before that.

I wish I could get a photo but my digital camera isn't fast enough to get a clear picture of him - Sorry!

Awesome!! Hey my trigger wedges himself in between rocks every night to sleep. I thought he was dead the first time I witnessed it.
