need help

[Neervana]

doesn't look like any of the skin is ripped. just looks like white patches. makes sense if she could be rubbing her belly against the bogwood when she is grazing on it? not sure. but she seems healthy apart from that.

It's normal some of my large Panaque show this from time to time. It's from scraping their bellies along the wood a stuff in the tank as they swim.

ditto my 9in pleco has them from time to time and all is well with her

I would just keep up with the WC and keep an eye on her.

Most of the time, clean water is the best cure

Keep an eye on it and go from there

Pretty much they are heavy and big bodied so when the graze they just slide along the wood.

Just keep an eye on the patches. If they start to get red or fuzz up then you might have to treat her. I really doubt this is going to happen.

I had the same reaction the first time I saw this.
