Also, we were in the Animas river near Durango, Colorado. It was freshwater, but I don't remember what types of trees there were. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Here is a picture of the wood:

I recently took a trip to Colorado, and I picked up some driftwood for my pet plecostomus while on a white water rafting trip through one of the rivers out there. Does anybody know if it would be safe to add this driftwood to my freshwater aquarium? The wood was from fresh water as well, and I...

Ok, well thank you everyone. I will look into the driftwood on Etsy. I asked one of the PetSmart employees as I bought more glo danios today, and they said it was just discoloration from the food. Thanks to everyone for the advice! -Plecostomus129

Ok, well sadly my poor glofish died. :( I think he was sick to begin with though. He was never swimming with the others, and didn't eat much. The other two are fine, and I will be getting three more today to keep the others company. Thanks for your help!

Even if I couldn't find driftwood, he would still be fine, right? I have been looking around, but I have not had much luck.

By the way, I use Aqueon tropical flakes for the glofish, which the pleco eats sometimes, and Wardley algae wafers just for the pleco.

Hello fellow fishkeepers, I was just wondering about some red spots that recently appeared on my pleco. I have a common pleco and two glofish danios in my 45 gallon aquarium, and I am planning on getting 3 more glofish tommorow. My pleco, Google, has recently developed red spots on his fins, and...

Also, the power went out last night, and the temp dropped about 4°, but he was fine once it came back on, and the temp is normal now at 78°.

Oh, by the way, the orange one is hiding, but I also have a blue and yellow-green one

Yes, I have mixed colors. Does that really matter though? I was already planning to get 2 more, but the water wasn't ready, but I will get the other 2 ASAP.

Hello everybody, I just got 3 new glofish danios to go with my plecostomus in his 45 gallon aquarium. They all had been acting fine as of last night, but one of the glofish has just been sitting up by the filter and airline tubing and not moving much. The other two glofish and the pleco are...

No, you're right, those are holes, but he has had those in his fin since I got him a year ago. Although, I have noticed that his body appears to have white spots on it. I would immediately conclude that it is ich, but I looked at pictures of him from when he was in his old tank, and they showed...

I have a Common Plecostomus That I just moved into a new 45 gallon tank 4 days ago. He seems to be doing fine, and the chemicals all appear to be the same as his old tank with no Nitrate, nitrite, and minimal alkalinity with neutral pH. I just noticed that a part of his fin seemed ripped...

No problem! Glad to help. :fish2: :)

Agreed +1. My pleco is always hiding, and he always tends to hide when people turn on lights. The species is very skittish, and will often hide when it senses danger.

I do not know about treatment with aquarium salt, but I believe that Meracyn 2 can be used to treat fin rot.

Well, I am done with giving him Meracyn, and I am happy to say that it worked! His stomach is as thin as it always was! I just gave him a packet of Meracyn on the first day, and then a half a packet each day after, until today, which is when I was supposed to end the 5 day cycle. He is perfectly...

Ok, here is what I have Done recently: On Monday and Tuesday, I fed him peas with Epsom salt rubbed into them to attempt an end to constipation. I did nothing on Wednesday or Thursday, and today I added Meracyn 2 to the tank, thinking it is dropsy. He seems to be doing better, and it is only...

Ok, I will look for that. For the time being, could Epsom salt help with internal parasites?
