Noticed on the weekend that one of my Orfe was off his food and moving about slowly. Didn't eat next two days either. Fished him out for a closer look. I see that he's a load of scales missing. Exactly the same on both side of the body in the same place.
Kind of looks like he's been wriggling between two rocks. But there's nothing like that in the pond so I'm lost for a reason for this..
He's in isolation at the moment. I don't see him scratching on anything so it's not irritating him. Just off his food.
Normally lives in a 3500 Ltr pond with 4 other Orfe. They're all around 6 or 7 inches. Others seem fine although they're so quick I don't think I'd be able to catch them for a closer look without stressing them.
Now in the isolation tank. Fins etc all look fine.
