My royal pleco is sick?

12-09-2010, 03:05 PM

Hi bro, i've uploaded a video showing my pleco is floated frequently.

I just change 1/2 water yesterday and put quite a number of k-leave. Not sure if it is because of the k-leave.

I've transfer the fish out to a small container and change 1/2 of the water again. Pls advise if it is the correct way to rescuing this fellow.

I kept a comm all together and saw they shit a lot don't know which one eat which one doesn't.

Too bad this fellow cannot make it. up lorry..... I think one thing i forget to do is to turn on the heater so that it can reduce the chance of bacteria infection in the first place. Sad...

Bro henyi, may i know which brand of anti internal bac do you use?
