Hi everyone,
I used to be a frequent flyer here a few years back
By the name of riverside any...
It all started with Reid... Our 135 plec that had this strange white patch on his side that seemed to just lose all its colour, totally lost its hue. However nothing else was wrong with him. This was it for ages, months. Then we moved him to another tank. A thew months after that this patch became bigger then redder. Then his tail became bent and he stopped eating and died in days.
Within a week or two of that our banjo cat fish developed these white spots... Looked like itch, totally not the same as Reid. We treated the tank but it did not work, we tried a salt dip as his tail became bent and it was a last attempt.
The external signs disappeared but hours tail remained bent. He died soon after for all our efforts.
Next with all the symptoms with a Bristlenose, except we did loads of water changes tried a bacterial medication. It seemed to help, we did two cycles of this and he was almost better but he just died. Found him on the bottom of the tank.
Now our pride and joy, our Rusty pleco has got these two bits of white lines around two scales.
All of our fish are older fish, our tank is established over 8 years old. Tank parameters have not changed in forever.
No new fish added in over a year or maybe even two.
Please help!
I have lowered the temp To 24 very slowly....
