Oh Man! Just when I thought things were going great, I wake today and notice my new Sumo Loach (little over 1 week old) has a spot in the middle on one side where it looks like the skin has either peeled or started rotting away and then a 2nd spot close to the tail fin on the same side!!! I can show you a picture of him from yesterday, but it won't sit still for a photo today! :( Help!
:huh: Poor Sumo it looks terrible!!!

Sounds like an injury, are there any sharp decorations such as rocks ceramic or plauseble the crayfish.
