What is this?!@#

I just did my friday water change on the 180g and noticed the "shadowing" on her scales. No fuzz, no wounds, not even white, just grey. No signs of distress, no clamping, ect. Scooped her up and dumped her into a 10g hospital.

Any ideas?

watch close over the next week to make sure she isnt building up slime coat really thick. it will start to slough off and be followed by patches of blood

It looks as though she's clamping her fins in this pic. Could it be columnaris? Do keep an eye on her, maybe add some Melafix and/or Pimafix and see if it helps?

I know how you must feel, I lost a molly this morning. He was a Dalmatian Molly, so if he was getting a patch like that, I would never notice.
