Good to know!I see this in Casper as well, it normally grows out in a few days. It's new skin/scales that will peel just like the rest of him did.
I had been wondering about it, but yeah they never last long.
I'm still amazed at how much these guys eat and how fast they grow. For me it's been the fastest growing fish I've kept.
I read somewhere that sometimes they peel different patterns as adults or close to the 9 or 10 inch mark. I've only kept a full orange one before so I'm wondering if that could be the case on this variety.
