So for the past few days I've noticed these splotches on one of my precious weather loaches. They didn't seem to be spreading at first but they do now. They seemed to appear very suddenly. The loach in question is acting and eating normally. The other 15 weather loaches, 2 eels, small catfish, gups and tetras are not showing signs of this. They're in a moderately planted 55g breeder-style tank with two fluval 30g underwater filters going. There have been some temp fluctuations recently because of the weather. I noticed a few loaches "kissing" at this sick one's face up until a few days ago (and I was hoping it was just an irritation from that, and would go away).

the splotches are a white/grey colour, slightly raised, and seems to be the same texture of the skin. I do not want to quarantine her because she will undoubtedly turn timid and probably make the others timid too. Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks for the opinion, I'll be tallying that sort of thing up :/ I want to be darn sure before I treat the whole tank for something... :/
