i have one tank and my fishys scales are starting to come off.. i dont see any white spots like ich.. what do u think this is and what should i treat it with?? thx for any help i can get ..

what kind of fish (and how big), what are its tankmates (and how big), what are the water parameters, and is it still eating?

 

[focker]

yes they are all still eating.. dorado. pike cichlid.. wolf fish. water parameters are good..checked them just now. have not had this problem until now.. it started when i put my bowfin in there.. he was the only one noticible so i took him out and put him in his own tank and he died... but now im starting to see it on the other fish

It could be either aeromonas or pseudomonas bacteria, a good anti-bacterial feed and treating the water with Binox should help.

thx guys for the help.. i treated it again for ich and i added 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons.. i think it may be going away .. if im wrong i will treat it with that biox .. i also bought some fungi eliminater. would that help?

Fungal eliminator will work instead of the Binox, they are made by the same company and I believe they contain the same active ingredients.
