The platy is missing scales.

[Nameless]

I noticed that one of my platies, two days after I bought it was losing scales, but the gourami and other fish do not pic on it and it is still losing more, what shoud I do? The molly is the only one that bothers it but, all this happened before it was introduced.

What are your readings for ammonia, nitrIte, and nitrAte (actual numbers, please)?

Amonnia: 0
pH: 7.4
I didn't get a good reading for one of them i forget the one but I think that my reading for nitrites was 0.2 and nitrates was around 5 ppm.

It's possible the other fish could be picking on it when you're not watching. I'd try isolating it for a while and adding some Melafix to speed healing. And keep an eye out for bacterial and/or fungal infections.

Really? The guppies just recently started to nip at them, and the molly was added to the tank like a week after, and the scales were like that like the day or the other day after I bought them.

My molly is appearing to be losing scales in a small area but for me its only ammonia burn, im doin a 100% water change to get rid of ammonia and cloudy water. Try double checking ur ammonia,
