Hello everyone, My name is Matan and i'm new to this forum.
I came here because i'v been searching for a long time a place where i could find
experts about pleco rising and caring. this came after my L240 got extremely sick
and no biologist/veterinarian could tell me what should i do about it.
so the thing is this.
i bought him from a local store at the 8 of august this year, in the beginning i haven't seen him eating at all, all the other fishes was jumping on the food but him.
then after 3 week +-, i notice one morning a little knob on his head, at first i wasn't worry about it because i though maybe one of the fish bites him and it's a fungal or something -

then it began to grow up and more of them began to accrue but only in the area above the head, after taking samples to a lot of expert in the area where i live,
they gave me a wide rage of medicine based on something called "FMC" (it's blue!) but it didn't helped at all, now the situation is worst, non of the biologist/veterinarian knows what this is, and i don't know what to do anymore.
i'v moved the fish into a different aquarium making sure water quality is the best.
took care of my primary tank with salt, gravel vac and water change.
he was living in an 476 litter aquarium filtered by an fx5
water changes and gravel vac on a weakly basis.
and this is the situation now, he have a white film on his tail starting to expend
