I set up my 55 gal tank 2 weeks ago on a Friday night. Being new to it, went in the next day and wanted fish. Got 2 Frontosa youngsters and a 6" Pleco. The guy also knew this was a freshly set up tank, so sold me bacteria and said I'd be good to put fish in immediately, after floating bags.
My fish started acting different this last Saturday (1 week later). Hiding, not eating much, no trips to check me out anymore...
The Frontosa turned from white and black, to dark grey and blacker. The Pleco went from very dark to having tan striping on his back and fins.
Woke up this morning and one of the Frontosa had passed.
But now I have a very sick looking Pleco as well. His belly ALMOST looks like "sunken belly". And it seems to have fungus of some sort??
Help!
