It was a young red tail shark

They are fighting over hiding spot. I have seen this come out bad befor. My daughter had a 7in FF and a 6in RTS they wanted the same hiding spot. The FF won out. It killed the RTS. this happened with the pleco too? How did that end?

I reshaped the tank and there is lots of hiding spots now, the plec has his own cave and the FF has his too, the RTS stays in the gaps on in the wood, he is only 2 cm in length and I haven't noticed him bothering any of my fish. Just got curious this morning with those marks on the FF

Most of the species in my tank are bottom dwellers and they all get on really well

You have clowns too. Most bottom feeder are night feeders. He may have intruded on the clowns in the night. I would add some aquarium salt. For stress and watch him close.
