Well, I just got my first pleco, and he was looking pretty healthy day 1, but now, 4 or days after introducing him to the tank, he seems extremely shy. The only way to get a good look at him is to slowly approach the tank and not make any sudden movements. If anybody goes too fast, he flies to the back of the tank and hides next to the airstone. Anyways, besides his odd behavior, he also has these white spots on some of his fins, not as small as ich spots, much larger, but not huge, like the size of his eyes, and hes about 2 inches long. I can't tell if they are injuries from being attacked, or some type of skin condition or anything.


I need help, here are my tank stats:

10 Gallon
3 ghost shrimp, two dwarf gouramis, three zebra danios, two corys, and that one pleco.
Normal chemicals, except the hardness is a little high and the ph is slightly acidic.
 
I'm not knowledgeable enough to help you but I wish your plec a speedy recovery if he/she is sick.

Sue xx
