Bleached Scales,possible Ulcers
- Thread starter tiggnutz
- Start date
Need more info on size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate and ph.
Where is the bleached patch.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
Sounds like a severe bacterial infection.
Are they big round patches as ulcer are pink or red with a circling of dead skin around the edges.
