Is my convict sick???

[kbaker721]

Is my convict sick or is she hurt? Lately I noticed her scales gone. It started with little marks, but on her left side there is a pretty big spot (as you can kinda see in the pictures - links). She also has little marks on the rights side. I have had the tank going with the same fish in for about 14 mos now, and have had no problems with them - I got all the fish at the same time, they were less than 1" when I got them, now they are all around 4-5". Anyway all that to ask if she is sick or just being picked on?

sorry the pics didn't work....

info is on member specs page, but here it is again

1 Aurustus (my main suspect)
1 red mbuna
1 electric yellow
2 shark cats
1 red finned borleyi
1 chinese algea eater



I just wasn't sure if it was a disease or attacks.....


(PS. I also would like to know how to post pics, obviously the site i wanted to link to didn't work,how do you guys get it right in the post....)

by aurustus do you mean Melanochromis auratus? they are nasty little buggas. you should either remove the con or the africans. i am very doubtful that they will get along in this type set up.

sounds like agression from the Aurustus and stress from water conditions not like their ovn native habitat, since you mix africans with americans.
