Hi

Is it possible for you guys to take a look here and tell me if this is normally what happens when BP "peel"? I have 2 BP's and this guy is the smallest, the much larger one is still grey.

Sorry in-advanced for the poor quality photos and dirty tank. I moved the guy to a spare 30g tank because I'm worried something is wrong with him due to being a little picked on by the larger BP or is missing scales for some reason.

I think it looks like a normal peel. If you’re concerned I would suggest keeping an eye out for white/fuzzy patches or reddening around the area. Absent of these symptoms and as long as he’s eating and swimming normally I wouldn’t worry. Blood parrots can be real jerks to the other fish in the tank but I have yet to see any significant damage they cause oher fish.
