As far as the pleco...rather than keeping them in too small a tank and then dropping them off at a petstore, just buy a species of pleco that stays smaller! It is better for the fish all around - the common will not be stunted, bagged, brought to a store, tossed in a too small holding tank, and then has to wait until someone willing to buy a large one comes along.

There are plenty of small pleco species that would be better suited for you. And if your friend has a fish shop, why would you not just get proper advice from them? Or are they the ones who gave you the bad advice in the first place?

no no my friend has a big shop with large tanks he keeps big fishes only like oscars , cat fish , piranha , and big pleco . and he is not the 1 who miss guided me wrong ,

. i went and shouted at that shop keeper .

I can't really identify the plecs from those pics; all plecs look very similar; we'd need clearer pics, I'm afraid (I know it's difficult). They do look like commons, although the first one looks suspiciously like a baby gibbiceps to my eyes. They're definitely going to get too big for your tank anyway.

What filtration are you running? It's not just that air driven thing, is it?

hey there are blood spots coming on the gills of 1 of my gold fish .... what to do .. ??
here are the pic .

Unless i have missed it, you have not posted the ammonia and nitrite readings.....Looks like it might be ammonia poisoning to me, You need to post the tank pararmeters.

ammonia is 1.8

That is really high, you need to do a 80% water change asap.

i removed the fish and now it is in the hospital tank have change the water .. and i am changing the water of the hospital tank every 3 hrs .. but still the problem is not getting good ... wht else can i do ..?

Put it back in the main tank where it's got more space and proper filtration. It might take a few days before it improves, ammonia burns will take a few weeks to heal properly.

Keep changing water until the ammonia is at zero; there's no harm to the fish to do multiple changes in one day, as long as the new water is dechlorinated.

do you have a filter, did you cycle the tank, i guess not..... keep changing water, do not feed the more food the more ammonia the worse off they will be, fish can survive several weeks without food, it will do them more good in the long run. If you get a chance get some ammolock, that nutralises ammonia and helps protect gills against damage. di
