It’s been almost 4-5 days now that I noticed the skin texture on my flower horns head is not normal. I looked online but couldn’t get any answers. When checked with my local fish shop, they mentioned that he must’ve hurt it as there are no signs for any disease. Today there is slight black spot on the side. Attached pictures for the same. image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpg

He behaves absolutely normal. But it’s not a pleasant sight to see. Kindly help as I’m not sure if my fish is even suffering.

No your fish isn't suffering in the least. It's completely natural. He's just showing his age is all. Think of em as wrinkles on a person, as a person ages more and more they get more and more wrinkles, some wrinkle more then others. It's nothing to worry about.

Btw he is a very nice looking male ya got there. Awesome finnage. Just keep up the good work and he'll be around for many years to come.
