:help:
I'm afraid my beloved 8 inch pleco is going to die. He has what appears to be fin rot.
I pulled him out of our main tank and put him a hospital tank for the past three days. I was treating him with Maracyn. He has not eaten in over a week. I change 50% off his water each morning and add a new dose of meds. This afternoon I noticed that the hospital tank looked cloudy. When I checked the levels they were at ammo 0, nitrates 0, Ph 7.2, and nitrites at 2 or higher! I changed the water again and the nitrites dropped to .25 but at 9:45 they were back up to 2 or 3.
I figure that I fryed my bio media with the antibiotics. Is this correct. I moved him back into the main tank for now.
What can I treat him with? I can run to the store first thing in the AM.
He is one of our favorites and I'm really worried about him 8(
Thanks for any help you have to offer I really need it. Michelle
