My pleco looks to be losing his slime coat. I've had him for a few weeks now and I've never seen him do this before. He has a patch near his mouth that seems to be peeling off. It's almost like he's molting. If it is his slime coat I don't understand why he would be so stressed. My water parameters have been fine and still are. His tank mates include a Striped Raphael and two Pictus. I thought it could be a fungus bit it's not white. It's like a clear sheet. Please help!!
