One of my RTC'S has me concerned. He's lost much of his color , blotchy, and appears to have a very thin layer of mucous on his left gill ..... Also a very tiny red streak by his mouth and a split fin ( may be caused by other RTC who chases him every so often) He has been like this for the past 3 months now.... Appetite is still great and he is very active and continues to grow.... He's around three feet long and almost 2 years old. He's in a 15000 gallon outdoor pond... Ammonia and nitrite are 0, nitrate around 5-10 on a bad day. Tried a week of amoxicillin a couple months ago... No change. He's in with another RTC , pacus, Arows, TSN and 2 iridescent shark/cats. Eats only cod, tilapia, swai, veggies, hikari pellets. Advice is appreciated
