Hi Guys - my bristlenose pleco is unwell again. A couple of months ago he was pooping long stringy whitish poos which I was advised was likely to be internal parasites, this was cured by four consecutive cycles of esha NDX (levamisole). Unfortunately the poor lad is now not eating at all, has a very bloated stomach and very occasionally passes a thick whitish substance generally about 20mm long. I have put him in a hospital tank and added aquarium salt and API General Cure, this being the third day. Although he occasionally moves position he still isn't eating anything but his stomach appears to be less bloated. Water parameters are good - Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 25, Ph 7.2 - Have any of you good folks got any ideas as to what ails him and what medication I can use, bearing in mind I'm in the UK and decent medications are hard to get hold of. Thanks for your help
