Question about my Plecostomus (Algae Eating Fish), In urgent need of helpful answers?
Hi I need someone to help me figure out what is wrong with my Plecostomus (Algae Eater). Yesterday we noticed that it looked as though he has ick. So we dropped in those tablets that are supposed to help get rid of it. However, this morning I noticed that his skin seems to be deteriorating. His fins look as though they are being eaten away. I'm also pretty sure that I can see his skeleton. What could it be? I know that other fish aren't eating him because he is the only fish that we own right now. Also, his skin kind of looks like felt, which really makes me wonder what is wrong with him. Is he going to be ok? Is there anything we can do to help him? We've had him for about 2 or 3 years, and this has never happened before. Also, this has never happened to our previously owned Plecos. Please help! We need answers as soon as possible. Thanks so much!
