Answer
Philip,  When you clean your tank are you siphoning your rocks. Your ammonia's and nitrite's are always higher at the bottom of the tank. Since these guy's are scaleless they are more susceptible to the skin peeling if the water quality is bad. You can get a siphon from the pet shop and they are very simple to use. If you are siphoning regularly I would go get Melafix and treat your tank it is a mild broad spectrum antibiotic and all natural. I would do that after a cleaning anyway to make sure he does not get a bacterial infection where the skin has peeled as a precautionary measure. Good Luck, Tina
