Bill B Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hello there My Clown Loaches are nibbling the scales off my Jack Dempsey. There is a bare patch about 30 mm sq. Any idea what might be causing that? Or what I can do about it? I have no way of isolating him from them. thanks Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexyay Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Is it possible that the JD is already sick? Fish have a tendency to pick on sick fish - his condition might be getting worse, leading them to just pick on him further. If he doesn't perk up - isolating really may be the best option as it could continue to get worse. Others might have better ideas of what else could cause non-aggressive fish to pick on others.

livingart Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 +1 You really need to isolate it, a large plastic container floating in the tank with an airstone will suffice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
