Hi guys I need help again since last week I notice these bumps forming on my bichirs scales, not sure what it is. There’s 2 of these weird bumps on his forehead as well. All water conditions are fine, I do 60-70% waterchange every 5 days. He eats normally, the most active eater I have, swims up to the surface even to eat out of my hand. All the other fish I have are acting normal. Could it be an external parasite? Thanks!

Don’t see it what your seeing. I see some upturned scales. Maybe I’m getting too old, lol.

Sorry Caveden Caveden . Not to mess with your thread. Think just some upturned scales and not more. If the bichir is eating well then would simply watch for any changes.
 
Hey guys. Back again. If you can see I swear the bumps have now gotten bigger, and there’s 2 more on his head? I’m not really as certain whether it’s upturned scales now…

This looks bit different. Never seen these before on polys. Don’t look like a parasite. Have you betters the fish and looked at it? Does it scrape off?
