Aquarium Advice FINatic
I saw my yoyo loach (fat 4 inch) today and it had some redness on its tailfin. It seems to fade internaly from the tip of the tail towards the body of the fish. There was also a 'spot' like red part on its tailfin.
Also its gills are moving much quicker than normal, but its other characteristics are normal, laying on the bottom in its territory.
I recently noticed all my fish except my 2 pleco's flashing.
I added some parasite treatment and have been doing so every otherday (what the instructions say) i didnt have any carbon in my filter to start with so i didnt need to remove any.
I tested my water as soon as i noticed the loach, other 2 seem prefectly fine. The sick loach is the biggest fish in the tank and is the dominant loach out of the 3. My water was ok except there might have been some ammonia in the water as the test wasnt a clear 0ppm.
I carried out a gravel vac and a water change, then added the parasite treatment about an hour later.
So basically my biggest yoyo has a small-ish but noticable red spot on its tail, and feint red internal fading.
I have a 20gal tank but it is heavily over filtered.
Outflow

I carry out a gravel vac with a pwc every 3 days.
Any advice will be greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance.
