Hello, i'm new to the forum as of tonight. Today i purchased a red tailed shark and added him to my 10 gallon with 3 tiger barbs i already had, they got along great, no fighting or anything. But i havea ceramic root/ cave thing that unknown to me has a tiny tunnell for realyl small fish to swim through. At first i thought my shark jumped out of the tank when i didn't see him for a few minutes then he came wiggling out of the tiny hole and started floating weird. I first noticed his tail was not read anymore, almost a clear color, then i saw that on his underbelly and sides were a white ish color, like his beautiful black scales had been scratched off. He's acting normal now as if nothing happened, but i'm worried about my lil buddy. I'm loosing the ceramic thing in the morning, but is there anything i should do to treat his wounds? Thanks for any help
