My BP has started to show signs of illness.
The scales along his sides are turning white, just at the tips, I thought it was just fading, but it looks like the fish equivalent to dry skin. The tips of the scales also appear as if they are seperating from the fish itself, and the under belly of the fish appears bloated. I've heard of what they call "fish dropsy" with similar symptoms. The BP also has been acting more aggressive, and sometimes jittery (spelling).
All params in the water are fine, the other non-hybrid tankmates are doing quite well, and are very healthy, No Ick, No fungus, etc.
Is there something I can look for? Something I can do? I'm afraid the hybrid may be weak against something in the tank the others aren't affected by.
