I am sure everyone who keeps plecos sooner or later have losses.

Yesterday I lost a 5cm Queen Arabeque L260 pleco. Ouch!
Judging by the look of its black belly it had developed an internal bacteria infection probably as a result of my feeding carnivore tabs to a fish I hadn't had long enough to cope with such rich food. 😢

"Ouch"- you took that well brengun, I'd be well and truly PO'd.
Seriously sorry to hear your loss- at least it sounds like now you
know what to look for, if it happens again.
A friend of mine is unidentifiable issues with a L168 tank and what
ever it is, is eating their skulls out- very odd and gross.
Sad J

I just lost a L168 with head injury. I thought it must have just banged into dw while playing with its friends so I separated and treated with myxazin to make sure it healed.

It found a small piece of dw and actually, deliberately seemed to embed the dw into its head! It did die the next day. Very odd.

Are they quite pricey in Australia? I've heard witespot is lethal with Queen arabs. Kind of put me off them if they're so temperamental.
