hello y'all I'm a newbie on the site. My black moor came down with ick about 4 days ago I treated the tank with medication leaving the carbon filter and noticing he did not get 100% better in 2 days, I took the carbon filter out and retreated the tank with ick medicine along with a little primafix, not the full dosage. I was told by manager Petland too much medication could stress the fish out.
This black moor "bother" got saved out of 20 plus fish shipment to Petland all of them were sick so manager flushed all black moors, i purchesed Bitner prior day along with a redcap oranda the red caps got sick treated tank but died two days later. RIP
But the black moor never caught ick and still living for the past 3 months added another red cap month ago and they both are perfect!!!
until a week ago I purchased a 2 inch common pleco which the lady at Petland said he was healthy I brought him home and noticed he was comming down with ick!!
My blsck moor was standoff-ish, one day goes by fine..folllwing day within 4 hours i notice my blsck moor has chunk of side missing!!! He must have came in contact with pleco since there is nothing else in my tank but plant. I return the pleco since I saw goldfish shouldn't be with plecos anyway!!!!! I than noticed following day black moor got sick!!!! I treated as I read above.
This is the first full day the bluff more does not have it but I notice overnight he got a lot more cotton growth on him at first I noticed the cotton growth on the bottom of the tank after I got rid of the pleco maybe from algae tablets I'm not sure maybe you can help!!!
Black moor still eating but just sits on top of corner most of day. Used to swim all day long. The red cap oranda looks fine thank god.
