@TheSwissAquarist i cannot tell from the picture is it External or Internal?

as i said in your journal, 1tablespoon per 5gallons of water for Salt should help without killing plants.

Is it external or internal it's difficult to tell and does it have a fuzzy appearance and how long has it had the discoloration @TheSwissAquarist

External. Been there since  I got it, but I haven’t really noticed it until today. Treatment ideas?? 

[Colu]

If it's external if it doesn't have a fuzzy appearance  it could be an injury causing discoloration of the scales that why it looks shinny  over production of the slime coat or it could be bacterial infection what I would do is add 1 table spoon for 3 gallons of salt and add I wouldn't add more salt than that as glass catfish are sensitive to salt and add some Indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties depending on the quality of the leaves you might have to add one leaf per gallon to get a beneficial effect if it gets worse I would treat with Sera baktopur direct table active ingredient is nifurpirinol a broad spectrum antibiotic treatment just in case theirs a bacterial component that should be readily available in Europe @TheSwissAquarist
