Hi Tony, It was just a guess, because it does look like a human bruise. And he gets skittish when there is lots of movement in the room - he darts about sometimes [forgot to mention he's in a regular 55 and he's about 3-4" long]. I do have a heater, its in the corner by the outflow - I have never seen him hang out near there. He used to hang out on the other end of the tank below a piece of drift wood that kinda bows and makes like a cave. What happened to your African? Did he heal? Did you notice any behavior differences?
