One of my two plecos has split dorsal and tail fins. It's like they been sliced or spliced. They don't look torn or frayed...just cleanly split or disintegrated.
It is not a bristlenose pleco...it is charcoal colored with distinctive light dots.
The fish otherwise looks and acts well. There are no problems with any other fish in the tank, and I have never had a problem with any pleco. I have had the two that are in this tank for a couple of years.
Any idea what's with the fins, and whether I should do anything? I have never put a pleco in a hospital tank, so I don't know how it would react if that's the best way to medicate.
Thanks.
