Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): I noticed last night that one of my glass cats had a pale yellowish mark on top of it's head. I had a closer look this morning ,and it seems as if the whole of it's head, on the inside, is one big spot; a nasty, pus-y looking creamy yellow with a hint of pink :crazy:

What's worring me even more, is the same colour seems to be tracking down the fish's spine; reaching to just past it's stomach :blink: It's still eating and swimming, and seems ok, in itself, but the other glass cats weren't letting it swim with the shoal, they kept chasing it away when it tried to join them. I've isolated it but have no clue on what treatment might be worth trying :(
