My L210 Pleco, White Ball Of Fluff, Not Sure If It's Fungus?

Hi everyone,

Must have spoke to soon but here it goes, I got a female L210 pleco and the day she was delviered last Friday I noticed a white spot on the end of her fin, she does have white spots but obviously these are how this pleco looks but this one looked different as in slightly raised.

I have Waterlife products range Myxazin, Sterazin, Protozin.

I have been treating the tank with Waterlifie Protozin which says it treats White Spot & Fungus and the site also says:

PROTOZIN is used for the control of all protozoan and fungal infections e.g Whitespot, Fungus, Neon Tetra Disease, Velvet, Costiasis and Trichodiniasis. You will require 4 separate applications to complete the course of treatment. By adding the treatment on days 1, 2 and 3 the product safely compounds in strength and does not burden the already stressed animals with a hard hitting formula. The final dose on day 6 is a preventative measure to try and ensure the organism does not re-occur. PROTOZIN's properties are highly effective at treating all its target organisms. Protozin is our best selling disease treatment world wide.

It says to treat on days 1,2,3 and 6. It's been day 3 today and to me it appears to have got a little bigger and not sure if the medication is helping it. It's like a white ball on tip of side fin and looks a little fluffy like fungus.

After further reading I see many people use instead of fungus treatment an antibacterial treatment like Waterlife Myxazin, I have this to but it states cannot be used until i think it said 3-4 days after using Protozin.

I have tried to take some photos please see below, is this a fungus? I'm treating with Protozin which is suppose to be for fungus and other things, but I also have been reading and manytimes it is actually more bacterial and people treat with a antibacterial medication.

Any help appreciated as don't want to loose her. My water parameters are stable, i've been doing about 20% water changes each day for past 3 days and gravel vac and to replemish the water with fresh water to keep things as clean as possible alhough i do weekly maintenance and weekly water changes. My tank has been cycled for nearly a year and is still stable as ever.

pH 7.6, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 0-5, Phostates 0, Gh and Kh not tested but got them both... but tbh my tank has been stable and I do test twice every week before and after water changes.

She obviously came with it unfortunately.

Thanks

Thanks Sue,

Yeah I think i'll have to go with large water change and put some carbon in for 24hr then dose with Myxazin as you suggested as i'm sure it's not getting better and slightly worse as at first a few days back it looked flat like a normal spot on her skin but has got bigger since so hopefully Myxazin will sort it.

Yeah my water quality is great tbh, I do weekly maintenance, water changes, gravel vac, filter check, slight clean if filter needs it etc.

Thanks hoping she recovers, will keep this updated and hopefully soon all will be ok. My new tank is coming tomorrow will have to hold off now for a couple of weeks by looks of it as that will be somewha stressful.

Thanks
