Hello everyone, I've been mooching about on the board looking for answers but I think it's about time I put in a request for some emergency help.
I've got a four year old plec that has started to look really tatty over the last couple of days, his fins look raggy and he now seems a bit 'floppy'
I've not seen him eating his usual pellets and I've not seen him poo either, usually it's like tinsel around the bogwood!
I put in King Britain Disease Clear yesterday but he seems worse today, he's swimming about but keeps landing funny and stays there, not always the right way up. His breathing seems normal but I'm really scared of losing him. He's usually really active and quite responsive to me.
All the water stats are the same as they usually are and there have been no changes to the tank other than the electric being off for 10 minutes over the weekend.
I've just put in a few peas to see if he'll eat, his belly looks a bit sunken.
I'm going to send Hubby out to the petshop for some stuff, I've read a few posts and so far my shopping list is Melafix and Aquarium Salt... any other ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks lots.
