I agree, you should quarentine it if possible. Although they live in slightly acidic deeper waters, they are reasonably tolerant of pH

and i can't find the info on how hard was my LPS owner wrong???
If u read my whole thing it explained how the normal tap water was to hard( i used botteld though with a conditioner ) my fish get better taken care of than my kids...LOL. So anyway my tank crashed the last thing living after 2 years was a whiskier shrimp and a few baby guppies. Now i'm just wondering if i should do a 50 % water change, ( these speicemns are suppose to be very sensitive to enviroment changes may like 15-20% over a couple days in a row
Thanx for your help THe wonderful Lady-G and t time for ur efforts and help I'll try to let u guys no what happens and some pics up but i'm new here so if any one needs a new buddy...It's kindda depresing when u log on and your CPU tells u no one likes u

I'm almost positive they are the same(tail and fin) But if plecos are scaless then i should be using half the medication so u did score there, because by lookiing at it (when i get a chance) and it beening my first pleco( I didn't know there were such beautiful plecos out there, i was used to seeing only the ugly ones) and i'm 27Y/Old I can tell on my clown loaches they have no scales .

No, I got the link off a google search, you may want to look through the articles, there may be more info in there.
I just got my first Pleco also...so I'm just learning about them, and have been looking over different things about them.

LOL, it tells ya no one likes you??? OMG, how mean....

Good luck with him, and yes...keep us updated on him. ;)
 
Up the temp to 86dF, use pimafix and melafix to help with the fungals and bacterials that are likely taking hold.
 
Sorry, I meant to add...I think he was talking about the pH level when he said they live in slightly "acidic" water.

I know water below 7 is considered acidic...7 is neutral...and above 7 it is alkaline.

I THINK that is what he was talking about.;)

yes, but they are pretty tolerant of it, so I was just saying unless you have it particularly high or low, I don't think it will be the problem. I'd move it to a qt tank and add some melafix or whatever fungal treatment you choose to use.
 
Yep, that is what I thought you meant...but he was thinking you were talking about he KH and GH, just wanted to be sure he realized that. ;)
 
Soo...how is he doing???
