I figure try this here, because I am stumped on this one. Never had this happen. This male seems to be healthy-active, eating like a pig, and normal breathing.
At first I thought it might have been the others, but after observation I only see chasing. No fin damage at all. This fish has had this spot of missing scales for quite a while, and seems to be getting worse. Any help is greatly appreciated. These fish are irreplaceable as they are very rarely offered.
