    L144 Pleco females sick or fighting body patch and bloody fin?

    No cloudy eyes always looked normal. it usually started with small redness on the top of the fish or around their belly and fins and just spread from there. I was beyond spechless how agressive it was. Very suprised that at the time the other spiecies in that tank didnt get it ex. Corys

    L144 Pleco females sick or fighting body patch and bloody fin?

    Last update. The remaining young l144 fish died. They were showing only slight signs of the disease but not much so maybe all the drugs that they were treated with had the effect. Bottom line if I ever encounter this I would try maybe API Triple Sulfa and Tc Tetracycline included with the...

    No salt, won't bother at this point I counted 5 fish in total left. I should have tried the salt as soon as I have moved them into that 40G but figured it's something naughty so I'll go with antibiotics and big guns. Hopefully no one on forums get this crap, but if they do and it will look...

    L144 Pleco females sick or fighting body patch and bloody fin?

    Another update. So beside that I don't wish this kind of disease upon my enemy fish :P, it has been almost 2 weeks since my last post and still no cure. I have lost total of 3 adult pleco and about 10 juvies. I have moved all pleco from my 46gal to newly setup 40 gal with cycled canister...

    L144 Pleco females sick or fighting body patch and bloody fin?

    I agree that it has to be some tough bacteria that's why it slowly ate at the fish, as much as I know about viruses probably more fish would be sick by now or this one wouldn't last that long but who knows. After doing more research the diseases I found that it could have been one of this...

    Hi, There was no improvement with kanaplex and fish died yesterday. I also lost a two month fry in main tank, one where the large female was in, day after water change I did.

    L144 Pleco females sick or fighting body patch and bloody fin?

    Another update so maybe my case will save someone time of what was tried if they have something similar looking. It has been almost two weeks and my fish is still holding on. Looks not too good I think I wasted my time with Paraguard as it didn't seem to do anything and the condition progressed...

    Thank you for checking it out, the bloody fin has cleared up now it's only the white spots that are still there (on both fins close to the body as well as on the top part) but they they don't look worst so I"m happy with that. I have finished bottle of paraguard last night so I will give them...

    Full dose of paraguard, but I remembered yesterday that I had carbon in my eheim in (about 5 weeks old pad so I removed it as it was probably making meds less potent). Also updated more info on my location but I'm in Canada.

    L144 Pleco females sick or fighting body patch and bloody fin?

    I have started treating wiht paraguard it has been 4 days and the fish still has that white fleshy patch, red fin has improved so hopefully the med is helping slowly, at least it's not getting worst. Any other medication that is more aggressive but ok with pleco and pleco fry ? Thank you.
