Otocinclus Sick

[methodmza_uk]

Hi guys, I have noticed my Oto is looking very ill.

Acting normal but he is all bright red underneath. I have isolated him into my planted tank. There are no other fish in there so he is on his own.

I am in the UK, what sort of meds could I give him?

Here is a link to another thread I found that sounds the same, this persons meds seemed to sort it out.
What could I use in the uk?

Thanks

Dealing with septicemia hard to cure once it has progressed.
Myxazin or anti internal bacteria med by interpet.
Good luck.

Well its been a week now since I posted my problem on this board and since the Otto was really ill.

Like i said he was in my planted tank on his own. A week later he is fine, without any meds or anything. Just been in that tank on his own munching on brown algae. He is 100% fine and looking good.

Weird or what eh, healed without any meds at all? Has this happened to anyone else?

Fish can heal them selves, surprised bless him he looked bad, though fish do surprise you at times.
Glad he munching away bless him.
