I bought a couple of black convicts today from the ever so popular PETSMART :WHOA::WHOA::WHOA:.


Well, I got home and one of them have red looking scales about mid ways on their side. It is not on the black vertical stripes but in between them. I have never seen this before and would appreciate a little help to save these rare high dollar fish!!!;);):ROFL:
 
Can you get pics? That's a pretty vague description. Cons can naturally have red coloration. As far as disease it could be anything from that description.
 
I'll try but they are still new to the tank so a good pic will be hard.

The red scales are sticking out slightly more than the normal colored scales.

I'll try to net him and maybe that will make for a better pic.....
 
MY CAMERA SUCKS!!!!

I can't get any pics with or without flash to make it visible.

Do you know of a website with descriptions or pics of fish diseases?
