Update on my "pleco"...he is still not eating *sigh*  The Algae Wafer is sitting at the bottom of the tank, as of this morning, broken up but not touched.  I just added another one, in hopes he may at least try to eat it, a bit.  I honestly don't know how he is surviving this long, without...

Thank you, Fish for your knowledge, as well.  Everything is deeply appreciated :)   I got the 10 gallon tank set up and the filter flowing, with his orginal tank water.  I then started the medication, in his tank and he seems to be doing a bit better.  He is now sucking on the side of the tank...

Okay, I called my neighbor at work...he does have a 10 gallon tank he can lend me.  Will that be enough water to keep the process going, for the bacteria???  I'm leaving for the store now, it's quite a distance...  I'll check back with you when I return, then get that water into the 10 gallon...

Okay, I see what you mean, but I don't have anything to put the tank water in...and I will need another heater, as it's been cold here.  I may have a neighbor, that has an old or extra fish tank, I will ask.  If so... then I just need to put the filter in the tank that I borrowed, with the old...

Thank you for getting back to me, before I leave.    No, I don't have a spare heater, I do have spare air stones, but not a pump and don't have a spare filter.  Should I pick up another pump, for more filteration???  Should I do another water change now???  Then check the readings and see where...

Good Morning Wilder, Thank you, once again, for being here for me.  The test kit is by API.  I just did another full test on the water... the results are the same.  Here are the results, as of this morning:   PH  7.4 Ammonia  0.25 ppm Nitrite  0 ppm Nitrate  5.0 ppm   I did the test again...

Okay Wilder, I got the Master Test Kit here are the readings:   PH  7.4 Ammonia  0.25 ppm Nitrite  0 ppm Nitrate  5.0 ppm   I left before I received you last post and only bought the test kit.  I will go back to the store tomorrow and pick up the Maracyn Plus or the Tetracycline.  Also, I think...

Thank you Dr. Rob... as I said, I really know nothing and my pleco has been very healthy, for me--for 13 years--Thankfully... Ohh...Wilder..he is a bit lethargic, less active than normal....  I'm running to the store now, for a Master Liquid Test kits...  I want to help him the BEST that I can...

Okay...What is LFS? I can run now and get a master liquid test kit. Is that the name of what I would ask for..??? I always cleaned his tank every 3 to 4 weeks and never had this problem. This is the very first time this happened. He's not leaning to one side or another--he's laying perfectly on...

Hi Wilder...Thank you for posting.  First, I have a 20 gallon tank...  I'm not sure of all the readings you have asked me, as I've never had a problem so I never bothered doing them...  I know, not good.  Anyway, can you tell me what I need to get these readings and where to get the products. ...

Hi Everyone,      I'm VERY new to this thread and don't really know where to go to ask for help.  I have a 13 year old pleco and it has stopped eating and is pooping very little, when it does it's clear/stringy.  It's laying on the bottom of the tank and is very rarely attaching to the sides. ...
