So yesterday, I emptied my pond into a makeshift pond ( actually it's the hole that im using for the bog), and moved the fish to it while i do a liner change and a rock rebuild. Have been fighting a slow leak all summer. :grumble: Don't know why I decided to do it now but it's has to be done. Anywhoo, as I caught each fish, I checked them out good. All of them looked pretty good except for a few scratches that happened I'm sure during spawing. I got down to the last two and when I picked the white one up, i felt somthing strange :blink: He was soft ?!?!?! I was thinking... well that's weird... then I noticed that the little guy had... Scales missing?!? What the heck? Then I think I remember someone talking about Dragon Scales? and that this can happen with a mutation in cross breeding maybe? Can't remember who it was that was talking about it. Is he going to be ok without scales like that?
