Hi, thanks for your reply. Hikari massivore delite. Tank is 465gal, 8x2.5x2.5 with sump. Just noticed it a few days back. I added a bit more salt at the last water change. Weekly 1/3 water changes so far.

Hi mate, thanks for your advice. I did as you recommended, used API Pimafix (used only half initial recommended dose to be safe) and already see a massive improvement in just 24 hrs. He has also stopped scratching himself on logs now. I’ll keep you posted. Kind regards
