    What is this on my BN Pleco?

    Haven’t tried it yet, usually opt for Courgette, Peppers, strawberries, sliced grapes and occasionally Cucumber. Ill give it a go as I often have a variety of “fancy” lettuces in the fridge as my spoiled Guinea Pigs love it!

    What is this on my BN Pleco?

    Certainly do! Just a couple minutes in boiling water then cooled and rinsed off in a jug of tank water :)

    Im still more convinced he is a he... a zoom in on one of his photos shows LOADS of bristles on his nose as well as the smaller mouth sprouts. For this reason only, I believe he is male 🤷

    My BN is loads healthier! I’m not sure it’s 100% gone, and I’m not sure any treatment actually helped but he’s still with us and out of his hospital tank, chomping on anything I give him! Here he is enjoying some yellow pepper today! 😁

    What is this on my BN Pleco?

    Sorry for the late response, my shop reopened on Monday and I have had an insane amount of work to do! He’s still with us and seems to have made some improvements, he simply has white lumps now (no fuzz or “alien from the abyss” evident on him, but I fear he might have reacted poorly to the...

    What is this on my BN Pleco?

    He wasn’t 100% sure but was convinced there was some form of infection (fungal, parasitical or bacterial) present. He recommended protozin as it’s a very broad spectrum medication, that has proven itself to cure a LOT of fishy issues (apparently too many to list on the bottle!). He told me to...

    What is this on my BN Pleco?

    Just an update for anyone who is interested. He is still with us, and has undergone some further treatment... Original anti fungal (phenoxyethanol) did nothing.

    Colin usually says a heaped TBSP, but I might be conservative and do a level one knowing that plecs don’t tolerate salt treatment as well as other species. Do you agree?
