Post by Mario »

Last Friday I got three beautiful L200, which where on the store for only three days.
The following day I saw some big white spots on two of them. Please note all other L's in the tank are OK

Are they in danger?
How can I save them?

Hi,

I moved this to the pleco forum. You may wish to edit your post title as it doesn't indicate you're looking for help with a disease rather that you're wanting to talk about L200 patterning.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Jools

Are there any hiding spots? It looks like their skin is being either rubbed or being chewed on, perhaps by the dominant male.

No hiding spot, everybody is getting alone well (if it's a male issue) are there marks can become infected?

Thank you so much Suckermouth

The eyes also appear to be a bit sunken, which is a really bad sign. It's really unhappy about something. Perhaps it's getting beat up by the others? Any chance you can QT it?

Hey
But as a first improvement you could give them some hiding spots. What you offer is not really an adequate animal housing.

As you can see yourself, After two week, it seems that he got recuperate, the white spot went away, the color is much stronger and he eats well.
