Aquarium Advice Regular
I have a sick fish. It is a juvinile Clown Pleco so is hardly ever seen. I noticed him this morning listless and not hiding behind anything. He wouldn't move when other fish swam by or when I moved in to inspect him with my magnifying glass.
Now this fish has recent history. I posted the amazing story on here a week or so ago. The short story is he was out of the water for 60-90 minutes recently. (search my post if you want the whole story)
When returned to the water, he showed no signs of problems. My wife (who has better eyes than me these day) told me a few days ago that he was missing an eye and he is. We didn't bring him home like that so I think it happened as a result of him being out of the tank for so long but don't know why.
ANYWAY, this one eyed Clown Pleco is sick.
We have an Aqueon 4g cube not being used so I filled it up to 79 degrees, dosed it with prime and PraziPro and scooped him up.
So he is in there now with a bare bottom and 2 pieced of fake decor with the lights off.
I think he is a goner. They hide all the time so I couldn't tell there was anything wrong until I think it is too late!
At least he is out of the tank if he does die.
He is breathing and he is upright but seems grim.
