Hi,
In one of our tanks we have a beautiful Sailfin Molly that is a voracious eater; he constantly nibbles everywhere for algae and doesn't miss a beat when someone gets close to the tank to 'feed' him. First, is it quite normal for a fish to be CONSTANTLY on the move and active? Second, in the picture you can hopefully see the scales just behind his eyes (it's the darker orange area) and that area appears 'lumpy'. That's the best way I can describe it. I know the scales create an uneven texture on the body, but this area is extra uneven.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
