Hi guys,
I got 2 firebellys in april and today when i went to feed them i noticed that Ted Newtgent was shedding. This has never happened before to either of them so I am unsure of what 'good' shedding looks like.
it looks like its going from his head downwards? sort of like pealing back a caseing. (i *think* its a 'he' haha)
If it it looks like unhealthy shedding- could it be due to temperature? I live in toronto and we're going through a bit of a heat wave with temperatures as high as 39º. I've been doing my best with trying to keep the water temperature suitable by floating ice packs, but it probably still gets a bit warm for the two
Any comments would be appreciated

PS sorry for the MEGA blurryness, it's night time here so the picture had to be taken in the dark.
