Can plecos get ick?

My sister has weather loaches! they are amizing and you can tame them to pop their head out of the water at feeding time and eat right from your hand!
Such funny characters!!!

Can u keep them tropical? I would love some!!!

I have 2 weather loaches in my 160l tank.

One of them was in the tank when it was coldwater. I don't keep the temp up very high to make sure that them and the peppered cories are ok. It's at 75F (I just checked).

I am glad I a not the only one wise in the ways of the weatherloach. My biggest and oldest one, Kentaro, is my favourite out of all my fish.

Yeaulman - I am sorry that your plec does not seem better. I really do ot think they should be kept in water below 25C. What kind of goldfish do you have? If it's fancies, you could add a heater to bring the tempature up a bit.

Calico fan tails and black moors. Would they be good in warmer water?

Many people keep fancies in warmer water. You may want to ask on a goldfish forum but when I used to go on them and kept goldfish, I remember people keeping fish like yours in higher tempatures (not commons or comets though).

Might be an idea. How is your plec today?

He's great today. Swimming around my hand when its in the tank.... great to have him back to normal

Thank you for all your help
