Butterfly pleco has mouth disease
Hi guys iam new to this site, but I have done all my research through here.. My 55 gallon tank has been running perfectly for a year and a half and toward the end I have planted many plants..so as I researched having a planted tank I stumbled upon some people saying to never vacuum your gravel cause you would be taking out nutrients and what not.. Thought it kinda mad sense until I noticed my hi fin butterfly pleco growing something on his mouth.. Looked like colliflower to the t, I yanked him put him in QT tank with aquarium salt 1 teaspoon per 10 gallons,and treated with jungle fungus clear full treatments did nothing, wc then treat with E.M. ERYTHROMYCIN full treatment did nothing.. Mind you the whole time I been medicating him it's been growing.. Now I goto the same LFS guy that's been trying to help me and he's stumped.he said clean the qt tank take a fist of aquarium salt along with pimafix and melafix..Iam on my second day of that..I just wanted some ideas because everyone that I talked to never seen this before and iam not sure how much longer this guy has before he is unable to eat or stresses from all this medicine treatment that's going on... Any input is appreciated, it's growing more and more everyday thanks guys
