Hi there. I recently moved my goldfish to a bigger tank (about 2 weeks ago).
On friday, I saw my goldfish was missing a scale, and I thought he bumped on some decor or something. However, yesterday (sunday) I returned home from a weekend trip and found him like this.
I'm worried about the missing scales all around the body and the fins. I am plannig on moving him today to a solo tank. My main concern about this is that I dojn't know if this looks like a bacterial problem or pl*co bites.
There is a 3" common pleco in that tank. The goldfish is a about 5.5".
Before I left on friday, I tested the water and it showed Ph 7.8, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite and 10ppm nitrate. Performed a 25% water change and rinsed the filter media.
Please, I sedd help ideintifying the cause of this. Thanks in advance.
