Hi,
I have a fully grown pleco in a 130 gal tank. This morning I noticed that his scales are not as they should be.
I have a picture here: http://www.finna.is/amything/upload/images/fish/pleco1.jpg
and here:

It looks pretty serious. His behaviour is also noticably worse, hangs out near top of tank and I can actually hear him breathing air from above the surface somtimes.
Other fish in the tank look and act normal.
There is another big pleco in the tank who is the boss, but it has never been so serious that he could have hurt him so bad but I can't be sure I guess.
Any ideas what this could be?
