 | Algae Eaters deaths! HELP!! |
Sleepy  Fingerling Posts: 31 Kudos: 37 Votes: 5 Registered: 06-Oct-2005   | Last week, my beloved Chinese Algae eater unexpectidly died. The only thing i noticed about his body was that his head was very very light. almost white. That same week i bought a replacment- a precious gold nugget pleco. @ weeks later, (today) i find him dead- the only abnormal sign: a very white head. Almost like a white spot (not small, covering a good portion of the head, also not a tumor or anything, its the skin color) HELP!! |

Judging from what u wrote it might be fungus or cotton head? Can u be more specific? Gee !!I think I just learned somthing new!! |
