    baby bamboo with skin disease? help please

    I found this little guy at the lfs and had to get him to see if i can help him. I have a lot of shark experience but non with their diseases. Mine have always been healthy. Here are some pics of the skin. He has only eaton once since i got him. about 1 week ago. I know they take a while to eat when transported. My other 3 took 2 weeks to eat but then when they started they havent stoped since. I am hopeing this skin problem will repair itself but hope someone can tell me what it is so i can help if it wont on its own. The system he is in now is healthy and levels are all great. He had the spots before he come to me. But they are getting bigger.

    Could be a bacterial infection.
    Look into a drug like Kanamycin or Nitrofurazon to get it cleaned up and help it heal.

    Could the shark be resting against a heater?
