This morning, I woke up seeing one of my smallest plecos floating dead, I took it out and noticed the second albino pleco is also bloated and has reddish color under the skin.
I checked the water everything is fine, Ammonia is below 0.05, Nitrite is 0.05 and Nitrate is 3
I had four plecos in the tank and none of them were in the same size with the other. so there was one big and then 2nd smaler and 3rd smaller and 4th smaller. the 4th smaller is dead and the 3rd smaller is in the verge of dying and the other two are totally fine. I am thinking maybe they did not eat? I had put vegetables for them but they were eating mostly algae from the glass.
Just to mention, it has been 3 days since I stopped medication for ich and I did a 70% water change and introduced bacteria. my puffers and neon tetra and other platy are looking totally fine, but their food appetite is not very good.
Can you tell from your experience why my pleco died and the other one looks like bloated?
