Typically scales come off a fish if they have injured themselves against something in the aquarium, if there is another aggressive fish in the tank, or if they are ill with a parasite that needs to be treated.

Swordfish during early juvenile stage of life (up to 8 inches long), have "scales" that are markedly specialized and rather unique. They are in the form of bony tubercules or expanded compressed platelike bodies.
