One of my swortails that I had recently purchased abt 3 days ago, seems to have developed a white scale near her dorsal fin. There also seems to be a scale or two like that on the side of her body. I think its a fungal infection but can someone confirm. I've attached some pics. The water parameters are normal NH3 - 0; NO2 - 0; NO3 -20ppm. Whatever the infection, i think was caused by the stress that was placed on the fish during transport and such. I've tried to take some pics. these things keep on moving so its very hard to get a good one but you can clearly see a whitish scale infront of the dorsal area. Also what treatment should i use to rectify this and should it be for the whole tank or just the single fish in a q tank. oh btw, the female seems to be chasing away any other fish that come close too...
I would be sure it was fungus but the things is the white things isnt overly fuzzy or has any of that sort of appearance. Also the fish seems to shaking its entire body from side to side too.
you can see the female in the left most of the pic
