broodmetbeleg Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi, This morning I woke up to my albino pleco being dead. He seemed fine the night before, but I did notice that this morning, his nose had turned white (see picture). I immediately did a water change and added some general medicine for both fungi and bacteria as well as ich. Anything else I should do besides watch very closely? Does this look like fungi/bacteria or ich to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colu Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 It's difficult to tell as fish start to decay really quickly after death the color change could have happened after he died or it could be a sign of a bacterial infection such as columnaris @broodmetbeleg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a second hand aquarium and I got him and some endlers as a gift, he was about two years old, at least that's what the guy who sold me the aquarium told.
