 | bullnose |
yoda988 Hobbyist Posts: 53 Kudos: 33 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Dec-2003   | I have a bullnose pleco that i have had for about 2 months now and is about 2inches long. He is in a tank with 4 convicts and he seems to be acting fine but i noticed the other day that he now only has one eye. Is this a big problem and is there anything i should do for him? |
