Pleco

[joshua123]

Im worried about my pleco as he/she has an injury or maybe an infection?

Please explain what you are pointing out?
Water parameters? (Ammonia, nitrite, ect)

Thanks for coming back. I've put a red circle around the problem if that helps

Thank you. Water parameters?
Do you do water changes? If so, how often and how much do you change?

 

[joshua123]

I've got a Masters test kit and Ill do all of them now

Here it is

 

[joshua123]

I do 25% water changes every 2 weeks for a 22l tank

Don't know if it makes a difference but that's a saltwater test kit not freshwater.

 

[TofferMora]

If it doesn't then I would say you need to do a water change for a start as you want zero ammonia and Nitrite and lower than you have in nitrate. Also I think you should be doing bigger changes 50-75%.

Right ok, I'll do one tonight. I got that saltwater test kit by mistake but its nearly the same as the freshwater test kit

Thanks so much for your help
