Deceased Plec - Any Ideas

[rodandalisonthompson]

I have lost my L102 Snowball Plec this morning as well as a Shark Catfish and another Shark Catfish died yesterday.

I have been treating for Whitespot - the Shark Cats were badly affected but the WhiteSpot was nearly gone so I thought I was OK. That said, I was half expecting to loose the Shark Cats anyway with them being scaleless fish.

However...ive no idea why I lost the Snowball plec. Im sure its connected somehow but how? Im not aware of plecs being senstive to Whitespot treatment.

I did notice when he died that there was a purple area visible in the stomach under the skin that looked like internal bleeding?

The tank also contains a Gold Nugget, a Magnum Plec and a Royal Plec which are all OK. Should I be worried about their health?








I did get another Snowball plec today for my other tank; the brother of the one I lost was still unsold and have ordered a Queen Arabesque.


Before anyone starts complaining at me about tank size, they are all juvenilles and I am going to be buying a 400l/120 gallon tank. I am selling my other car to fund this new tank....anyone want to buy a car http/cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...p;rd=1&rd=1

when treating its a good idea to add a air pump and stone as medications reduce the oxygen content...
