    Albino Bristlenose Pleco has red sores on his head

    Sadly, my 3 remaining fish passed away after I added the salt. I think the tank is cursed (not really cursed just bad bacteria). I just got rid of the entire tank, the filter, & everything in it. I don't want to reuse anything from it because I don't want to transfer any disease. I've had...

    Albino Bristlenose Pleco has red sores on his head

    No he was in a 20gal up until about 3 weeks ago. If he's super stressed about it I'll def switch him back to the 20gal before you can say plecostomus.

    Albino Bristlenose Pleco has red sores on his head

    Even if he stays a max of 4"? I had no idea. I was actually hoping to move the 3 fish into the 50gal but I don't want to transfer any diseases. Actually he looks a bit worse to me & I'm scared.

    Albino Bristlenose Pleco has red sores on his head

    Isn't Zeolite supposed to reduce ammonia? I've used it when needed for 2 years and never had ammonia spikes from it. Anyway, I used it because when I changed the filter it was disgusting and because I didn't know if there was bacteria in the water that could've caused the dropsy. The only fish...

    Albino Bristlenose Pleco has red sores on his head

    Help! My poor little albino Bristlenose Pleco has suddenly developed what looks like open sores all over the top of his head & some on his tail. It seems like this just happened overnight. I have had him, who's about 3½-4", since 06/04/20, a Betta since 04/22/20, a tiny Otocinclus Catfish Algae...
