Hey GER....u really think so.....I think I'll just play it safe and follow Betta's advice and see what happens......not to discredit Betta....but I sure hope it is as you say.....just a battle wound. Cuz u'd never believe but yesterday the oscar that doesn't have the torn tail was chasing the the torn tail one for a while but they've stopped now. It was wierd....I thought they were mating/courting or something. Honestly.....I'm clueless......I actually have some poor video footage of it....will post.
Here's the video I was talkin about....it does look like fighting right? Well I got them as a pair and they weren't fighting....in fact they were really close and the oscar had the torn tail when I got him.....this activity is new....in fact only last night they started this.
