Meet Bruce, my Rainbow Shark.
He's one of my favorite fish. Today I noticed a white-ish spot on him that was too big for ich, but it definitely stood out on his black body. So I netted him and put him in the little container you see above.

To me, it looks like he's missing a scale or two. The other fish in the tank (29 gal) seem fine. They include:
For the most part, Bruce hangs out in his cave (he claimed it when he first got into the tank 2 years ago). The other fish don't seem to be nippy, but I guess that's always a possibility. Should I be concerned? Should I add meds or just keep an eye on it?
