my bristlenose pleco has one of bristles inside one of his nostrils what should i do?? should i try take it out or what because it could hurt him if it grows longer inside

the fry is about 1 month old now and as he’s just gotten bigger i noticed he has a strange bump under his mouth i don’t think it’s a parasite and he’s the only one who has this out of 50 or so cories i can monitor them all closely because they are split between several tanks he swims and eats...

i also have a very active pleco who loves to dig in the sand all night and it’s always messed up in a few hours even if i flatten it so will he possibly help in way too

will it be fine if i just stir up the sand with the vacuum while doing a daily vacuum it took a long time for the meds to get here as you can’t buy it in the uk so i don’t wanna use it and have it not kill them totally

i asked this question before but the person talking to me ignored my original question and didn’t help at all my cories have these worms and i have the medication to treat it but my substrate is sand and i seen these worms drop off i’ve never seen them bury into the sand but what i’m wondering...

i want to get a new filter as my current one doesn’t seem to be keeping up with even though it came with the tank what filter would anybody recommend for a 200l tank and nothing you can only buy in the US please as new brexit laws are stupid and i’d have to pay a lot of tax the filter can be...

it is these and people seem unsure of what they but they move around on the glass like worms when they detach but are too small to be anchor worms and don’t have the same shapes at all plus they also die with a de wormer medication

they’re so small you can barely see them on camera and my cories hardly stay still i don’t think they’re leeches though as they eat the cories not draw blood like they’re fins and tail and barbs slowly disappear in the spots they are in i’ll see if i can find a photo online

i’ve asked at pet stores and two things he said it could be it definitely was not which i get technically isn’t reliable since they probably don’t know a thing but still

they’re tiny worms only a few millimetres long and eat at the fishes fins and then the fish itself but it only affects cories as none of my other have gotten them at all only all the cories i have same with other people

that’s the thing nobody at all seems to know every forum post on the internet i can find has no clue what these are and only seem to occur in cories yet everybody has said the only thing that will kill them after trying tons of things in medications that have praziquantel in them which of course...

my cories have these worms that somehow are unknown and only seem to affect cories but that’s fine i know what to treat it with and it’s getting here soon i’m just wondering since these worms can drop of and move i’m wondering if the medicine will kill them if there’s any hiding in the sand or...

that’s normal in my experience i’ve had two plecos for years and they’ve both always done this mostly when the light is on

I’d suggest you get a bigger tank as they could be fighting and your algae eater will grow to large for the tank eventually also it could be that there’s a lot of poo in the gravel i have algae eaters and have to vacuum weekly too keep it clean

i have three tanks and one of them had a cycle crash due to medication which was no problem as i was moving the fish to a bigger tank and had a spare tank anyway now i’m trying to recycle the tank and have put the filter in an already cycled tank and i’m wondering how long it will take for the...
