Sorry about your modesta, Martin. When you said that the skin is coming off leaving bloody patches, it made me get my disease book out, and I quote: "The skin clouds up in some areas, then comes off leaving bloody patches." "Your fish are probably affected by an extra heavy Costia infection. Bacteria, too, are probably present." It says, "if possible, increase the temperature to over 30C, then treat immediately according to..." The treatments are either salt, copper sulfate, or acriflavin (Trypaflavin). I hope it's not too late
