Hi all,

Please have a look at my pleco, picture attached:

I have already separate him from the main tank.

Main tank:
Tankmates: 1 Aro, 6 TFB and 2 Motoro rays.
PH: 6, nitrite and amm: 0
No change in diet. All remain the same. Has been in tank since day one, nine months ago.

Now in mid size guppy tank with air stone. added two spoon aquarium salt. He looks abit full (bloated) and was abit hard as stone when i was trasferring him to the small tank. Will he recover?

Dun look like white spots, could it be fungal attack? anyway, since you have other tank mates in the tank, why not u trf to s hospital tank, run it with air sponge filter, add a Dw to make it feel secure, add heater to raise temp to 30 deg, add some primafix/Methylene blue solution. should be fine after one or two dose. :)

Hope I'm not too late. Anyway last time when I have this problem, almost my whole panaque comm got wiped out. Some said this is one form of the panaque plaque and some said not. If not wrong by now your royal should be covered with this white film or maybe died already. Mine KOed in 4 days. Hope you manage to find a cure for it
