The top of my platy's head is peeling?
I noticed this today with one of my platy's and it looks like the top of it's head is peeling off? From the top of it's head you'll be able to see a dot, and you can see the scale loosely hanging from it. I checked the water chemistry and everything is normal, no ammonia, nitrate, and little nitrite. If this is some disease, will it pass on to other fish(I'm worried that it will pass on to my ghost knife, which I really don't want to lose).
I want to say that the peeling may be caused by aggressive-ness between it's other tank mates, since they're territorial. If that's the case I want to say that the culprits are the angelfish, I can't move any fish out since I don't have any other tank, and I had the tank for a couple months now.
I forgot to add, the platy is acting normally, idk if that helps.
I found out why the angelfish have been bullying the platy and the other fish(but more the platy), they are laying eggs O_o I'll go ask a question about this.

This is probably being caused by your other fish who are bullying your platy. I would either donate the platy to your LFS, separate it to a quarantine tank, or let it suffer.
Good Luck, and Hope this Helped.
