I have a green spotted puffer fish that is in with two juvenile oscars and a plecostomas. The oscars are not aggressive toward him and I just got done treating them for ich. Everday I have done 50% water changes and added the medicine, everyone looks fine now, except the puffer, and it looks as if it's skin is peeling or flaking off, it looks like this all over its body....Any ideas on what to do or what is wrong?
OKay guys this was my question, The person that said that puffer is a scaless fish I know that, I bought scalelessfish ich treatment, to cure all the fish, I went to school for animal care and specialize in fish but I had never seen a fish with peeling skin, the ich treatment was for scaleless fish...I bought stress coat for them wwhich is a water conditioner and it heals their skin. But thanks for trying to help.

I once had a red devil that his skin was peeling off and they said it was from the ph being too high and it was actually burning his skin off, I know that sounds gross..the fish died the next day hopefully some one on here can tell u what you can do before its to late..good luck

it sounds like he still has ich. You may want to treat the tank again or go to the pet store and see if they have special stuff for faking. I know they do for turtles and some fish but I am not sure
