I came home today and noticed that my bichir had a small white spot on his side. He does have two small plecos in a tank with him, but they have never shown any signs of eating his slime coat.
I am planning of doing a 50% water change tomorrow when I get home. Its current take mates are a large blue Acara Cichlid and like the smallest black ghost knife fish.
i’m currently having a large problem with Blackbeard algae I don’t know if that could be contributed anything, but it’s a problem nonetheless.

if you have have any advice for me, or can identify what has happened to my bichir, please tell me.

Maybe a scrape or heater burn. If more spots show up then consider the plecos. Make sure your plecos are fed and are eating well. Clean water and make sure the poly eats. Should heal up quick.
