Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I recently adopted a pleco who had a serious concave stomach. I adopted him because he was being basically eaten alive by the baby plecos in the tank. It was clearly overstocked and the fish were clearly underfed. I've been trying to do my research to see if there's anything I can do, and I came across the potential of it being tuberculosis. He hardly swims around, he doesn't eat, and his fins are torn to shreds. From what I've found, he may have tuberculosis, and there aren't really any treatments for him if that is what he has. I was wondering if anyone has ever had this happen to theirs, and if there was anything that could successfully treat him? Everything I've found seems to suggest I could try giving him b vitamins in liquid form, but it's not a guarantee. Just looking for possible suggestions. I don't want to euthanize him, but I don't want him to suffer either. Any suggestions would help. Thanks.
