My Lapradei bichir recently developed a condition that’s causing its scales to peel off. At first, I thought they might have been fighting, but then I noticed it was more widespread (as shown in the photo). I’ve tried asking other bichir keepers, but it seems no one has encountered this disease before. Could anyone help identify if it’s a fungal infection or a parasite, and suggest treatments? It seems to be spreading to other bichirs in the tank.

Currently, I’ve separated them into a different tank and am using Polygard and StressCoat, but there’s been no improvement. Thank you, everyone.73992225-F76A-42CA-80BE-38DCE1321B2E_1_105_c.jpeg8E53F3BE-DA51-4B88-A6A0-513B59FADABE_1_105_c.jpegBEC1A35C-BC6E-42DD-AE82-D6F99D7D8B40_1_105_c.jpegFacebook Image.jpgImage from Facebook.jpg
