    I agree they are probably just batlle wounds that will eventually heal best wishes though

    I bet it will be depending on their size but lets hope they figure out the pecking order soon before one of them bites the dust:bigcry:

    I had three damsels and only one survived due to the pecking order it is very sad the way they figure things out
