So my big fat pleco got stuck in his log. He wiggled out but now has a big sore. There is a bunch of fuzz now growing out of the sore?? What would be the best thing to do?:cry:
 
Also have you got pictures and do you know what chemicals i am talking about? also what is temp maybe bump that a little bit if it is already high don't bump it :D


Not to sure about this incase you don't have chemicals handy i think Aqua salt might help but if you have pictures that would help to see the damage extent.

:popcorn:
 
Not alone. 2 Oscars and a JD. I do have Quick cure and couple of other stuff, I'll look and get a picture. Temp is 84. Can't use Quick cure on plecos, right??? I'll get the pix asap 15 minutes

Sorry it's a cell phone camera


Yay some agree with me :grinno: well i think try that for first step see if that works if not guess next step is meds also very nice fish :headbang2
 
mine did the same thing a while ago the injury wasnt that bad it went away after a while but that looks worse, i'd go with salt
 
What dose?? 90 gallon w/ others...not QT :( But if needed I coud set up a 30 with this tanks h2o and a aged filter. Plus, what temp? I'm at 84?? Thanks for the help guys. This guys name is Mr Big Stuff...cause he poops like a cow!
