ADFs look like skin is falling off.

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum

I have noticed that in the last three weeks one of my ADFs appears to either have something growing off them or their skin is flaking or peeling off. Was curious if anyone might know what this is?

My params:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrites: 0
Nitrates: less then 10
Ph: 7

My stock consists of:
2 adult fancy guppies
5 3 month old guppy fry(will be removed in a week)
5 week old guppy fry
4 card tets
2 ADFs

small peeling of the skin is normal as they mature. Can you specify how much peeling is going on?

Last week it was just a little. Yesterday during feeding I noticed that it was a little more. It's mostly on the back.

If pictures would help Ivan get some later today when I get home.

He's probably just shedding. They do that every so often as they grow. One of mine did tonight, it all came off in one piece, like a frog sock. It's kinda cool, kinda gross. They like to eat it too...

Here's a bad picture of it:

Haven't seen anything like that in my tank yet. Looks like its just coming off in pieces. Tried to get a picture tonight but he decided that hiding in his rock was a better idea. Haven't seen him since yesterday's tank cleaning.

Peeling is normal. My chubby one does so more often.
