GGobblin Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 (edited) Black spot around my pleco's right eye. Seems to be acting normally, eating fine, just showed up one day. It's been over a month, no change. Only one in my community tank. 78deg, ph 7.0, soft water. No ammonia, or nitrites, 30ppm Nitrates. Tankmates: flame gourami, cory cats, neon, candy cane, Silvertip, rummynose tetras. Few otocinclus.. No idea what this is or if I should treat with Erythromycin?

Colu Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 What type of pleco is it because it could be a change in pigmentation as it gets older Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 @Colu it looks like a bristlenose pleco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGobblin Posted January 20, 2021 Author Share Posted January 20, 2021 It's a Blue Eye Lemon Bushynose, but that black around 1 eye shouldn't be there. I have another in a different tank that it didn't happen to. Nor sure if it's a fungus, or wound but it's been a while, has not gotten better. I tried adding vitamins to his food, varying his food, eats everything well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
