I noticed that my black mollies lookes like that they had white spots on them. I knew it was not ich as my other fish were not infected and no new fish were added or the conditions did not change in the tank.

Anyways I took one of the fish out into a net to examine him when i touched the spot the "whitesh spots" were scales coming off. The act healthy in the tank. Do I have to worry? Do fish shed scales?. I feel like an idiot for asking this question.

My water is slighty hard, neurtral pH , no ammonia or nitrates

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?
