Hi. I have a sick Pleco. He is about 2 inches long and all of his fins are getting "rips" or "tears" in them. Since it is all of his fins I am assuming it is some kind of bacteria or fin rot or something similar. I attached a picture of his top fin that you can see the "cuts" that I am talking about. He is also discolored. As in he is normally black and he is now black/grey/white. I dont know if this is a related or seperate issue. He is in the tank with a similar sized Oscar. The Oscar is about 2-3 Inches. My Pleco stays under his log and in his Ornamental decoration house in the tank. He is in either of those paces most of the time. He also have a very long stringy poop that comes out. It almost looks similar to black sewing thread. I have done countless big and large water changes since this issue has started, and I am starting a Melafix/Pimafix medicine tomorrow. Does or can anyone help me with this issue? If you have any questions or need more info let me know. Also I have a picture attached.
Thanks,
Andrew
