Hello again everybody. I have noticed this on my hybrid the past week. It appears to be like skin peeling? I can't tell. Does it look like anything you've ever seen?

He still swims as normal, still eats like a pig, and is showing no signs of behavioral changes.

I tested 7 parameters, part of your general 13 dollar 25 pack test strips and they were all fine. Does it look like he requires any kind of medicine?
 
Don't know, so I'll give ya an extra bump. In general I say keep on keeping the water pristine, and keep an eye on him for any behavioral changes, and don't panic and do anything drastic. Who else is in the tank with him?

My water is fine.

are you sure?....test strips are wrong all the time and not a good way to test your water..you ask for help and shoot it down..

i would take the suggestions ^_^ and get a liquid test kit just to be sure.
 
Ok relax. I haven't shot anything down. How was I supposed to know test strips are "wrong all the time"? I'll see what I can do.
