pleco design

[i_love_fish]

can plecos have white spots?
heres a pic very bad quality but its all i got you can kinda make out the spots there white, his fins look messed up too, hes also in with 4 agressive fish who are larger than him if that makes a difference.
and i also heard that salt may mess with plecos i have added alot of salt to the tank can that have caused anything?

lol i cant even see a pleco.
There are some plecos with white spots, and plecos can get the disease white spot. I've used meds fine with white spot, and have had great success with just raising the temps high, and adding some salt-or ich treatment.

sh1t i jsut got OVER THE WHOLE ICK THING! can i remove the pleco before its worse? and my other fish will be fine?

i'd treat the tank, chances are it'll be in the water anyway.

 

[i_love_fish]

its been 3 days since i removed it and my other fish dont have ick?

raise temp and add salt or you can remove sick and treat in seperate tank. white spots = ick

keep an eye on main tank to see if anyone else gets ick

i say just raise up the temp and throw some salt. works for my fishies

its better to treat a tank earlier than later... I'd treat the main tank anyway.
