    Butterfly pleco needs desperate help

    Now that iam thinking when my butterfly got the growth I had a bristle nose in my qt for 9 days and put him in main tank.. Didn't have another tank and didn't wait the 2 plus weeks. That would be my only change and it makes sense cause that was the first fish to go now everyone else is showing...
