My rhino pleco has been showing odd behavior for the past few weeks. Coming out during the daylight hours, hugging the heater, just recently not eating. Until a few days ago he looked fine. Now he has a blue film on his gills, barely noticable, as well as a blue haze over his eyes. He's starting to show signs of excess slime coat. His fins still look fine. I'm am currently doing a 30% water change everyday and treating with Maracyn 1 & 2, plus about 25% the reommended dose of maracide.
Here are yesterdays water readings (done before water change):
Amm. 0 ppm
Nitrite 0 ppm
Nitrate 0 ppm
PH 7.6
High Range PH 7.6
KH 5 dgh
GH 5dgh
Temp. 80 degrees F.
I need help identifying this infection and treating it.
Any thoughts on this is appreciated.
