I have two redtail catfishes each 5" length.. Both have reddish skin and skin peeling near their head.. It looks deep flesh peeling in some areas.. They are not taking food for last 2 days.. What kind of medicine can I use to cure them? I have a shovelnose catfish too. He's completely fine in the same water..

Welcome aboard
Please post your water parameters.
If you don't have a test kit take a sample of water to your lfs to be tested for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and PH.
Also have you noticed any aggressive behavior from the Shovelnose?
