I got this pleco from a local pet store around a week ago. He got stress ick a few days after I got him but that went away after a few days (I have ich x coming in the mail just in case it turns out not to be stress ich). This morning he has this swollen nostril. I don't know what it is if I need to treat it or how I would treat it. He's behaving the same as he always has. Sucking around on all the glass but ignoring any food I put in the tank. This pet store also sold us a second pleco for my step dads tank that is also ignoring food. Moved it to my tank because I have algae in my tank. It's also sucking on the glass and being active. Though it is very very skinny By food I mean hikiri algae pellets and bottom feader pellets as well as broccoli (though I haven't tried broccoli since putting the second pleco in) and I'm going to get zucchini when it isent Easter. Second pleco also has a white spot on its side but I think I just accidentally injured it while moving it. I'm going to keep an eye on it. Never going back to that pet store. 2nd worse locally owned place I've been to. Oh I also have invertebrates in the tank. 2 cherry shrimp, a dwarf crayfish, a couple of mystery snails, and a metric ton of malaysian trumpet snails. I know that inverts can be sensitive to treatments so it should be mentioned. (Cross posted from reddit I just want to cast a larger net because i am very worried about these guys)
