Hi All,
My pleco had been very healthy until it jumped out of my tank yesterday. I was able to get it back into while it was still alive; however, it moved very lethargically. When I got it back into the tank,other fish started biting at it until it found a hiding spot. When it came out earlier today, there didn't seem to be much damage; however, I just noticed its left side is now turning a red color. In addition, the dorsal fin is now mostly missing with the exception of its spines. Finally, the anus has also turned a red color.
Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do to help or what may be wrong?
Thanks!
