Blue Hippo has a section on him that is lighter than the rest. He is a bright blue color and this spot/section is a light blue. Only on one side of him. I haven't noticed him scratching on purpose, no ich. Could this be accidental scratch from rock or is there something else going on?

It is not a film or anything on him. Just looks like his color is missing somehow.

Sorry for the bad pics.

Thanks.

It is almost like a yellow belly but it is a pale color on the belly but on one side. Almost like rubbing on the rock when he enters and leaves his hiding places. Eating and all other fish are ok. Just weird.
