hi should i isolate her to her own little breeder?
she has some scales missing and the area looks white(like the scales under the missing ones are whitish) please answer!
 
Size of tank in gallons or litries.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Missing scales can mean they been fighting, knocked them off on things in the tank, parasites to bacterial.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
Any excess mucas on the fish.
Any white eding to the scales.

tested fine

nope
can't tell if white edging or scles white :blush: . sorry
(if this may help, i just had a guppy die, if that has anything to do with it)
 
Not much to go on but I would issolate her and maybe add some melafix seen as she lost scales.
 
Breeder nets are not ideal no.
Best to invest in a little hospital tank they don't always cost much if you look around.
Hows the fish doing?
