Hi guys,
I noticed a whitish spot on my Agassizii Alenquer about 2 weeks ago. Im not sure what it was. See attached pics. I have had him, and all his tank mates for almost a year. Nothing added or moved. I feed a mix of plant and meaty dry food, and occasional freeze dried blood worms. I was told it looked like an abrasion or the start of Ich. Nothing else in the tank has any symptoms. I do water changes weekly. My tap water tests good. The tank parameters are great. 0 nitrite, 0 nitrate, 0 chlorine, 0 amonia, good ph, slightly hard water. I treated a full round of Ich med, melafix, and pimafix. After the treatments, the spot looked slightly better. Then 2 days ago, icouldnt find him. Turns out he is hiding way in the back, on the bottom of the tank. He will not come out. He will not eat. I have 3 Rust Cories, and 6 variety Endlers. Nobody else seems effected. The thought crossed my mind that maybe one of my cats reached in and possibly hooked him. He is normally very friendly and comes right to the glass to greet me and beg for food. He was like a little puppy. Now hes scared of everything. Hiding and not eating. I cant even get a good look at him. From what i can see, his colors are a bit dark, but fairly normal. His fins look good. I just dont know what to do. I have Metroplex and Kanaplex. Should i use them? To me, it looks like he will be passing soon. Im sorry the pics are grainy. But this is how he looked before i started any treatment. About a week ago. I cant get a pic of him now. Any suggestions please.
