Convict

[RedStarCommie]

Hello,
I have a convict and he/she appears to have a bronze patch on him/her, is that normal or whats wrong with it?

please help, I dont want it to die.

I'll try to get a pic of it but having probs with the camera at the mo.

Does the patch look rusty in colour as it could be velvet, any signs of flicking and rubbing against objects.

Could also be a sign that it's a female

Is the bronze patch on the tummy?

sub makes a good point; does the fish exhibit any symptoms of being ill or does it just have a patch of color on it?

It seems fine, its just the other two dont have this rusty patch.

I have a pic now but dont know how to put it in the thread.

Turn tanks light off and shine a torch or flash light on it to see if it glows up in the dark.
