my oranda lost some scales due to some toxic levels in the tank
I corrected the cuase of the scale loss. i noticed that the side that lost
the fewest scales turned a rusty color then went away leaving a side of ne
scales. the other side where a significantly more amount of scales was a
little different. picture a circular patch or scale missing on an oranda.
now there's a rusty color developing right out side the patch.
a day and a half later the rust is gone but the there is still a patch of
missing or very lightly see through flake like scales. is this suposed to
happen
thanks in advance for any replies.
