Actually that white spots from the onate you have on the thread that you shared are slim coat loss, if you look at the picture most likely its due to the common pleco in the same than as the ornate, common pleco or some pleco likes to suck on polys slime coat, so i dont think its the same problem your having.
Haha I do respect your input, and it is totally possible that the pleco caused the damage, but there's a link to second thread in the ornate post (https://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/threads/worms-on-bichirs.155783/) where someone else's poly had the same problem, but in a bichir-only tank. I'm guessing these critters like to munch on bichirs' slime coats before they make themselves at home.
Nope, just a million bumps, seems like there's more every time I see him
About an hour after adding the prazipro though I noticed he shed a scale and what looked like a worm was attached to it (although, when you're expecting to see something, everything you see looks like that thing). He looks rough, but still alert and active.
If his dropping the the worm when your pit the prazipro then its probably working, white spots wont go away right away cause it looked like it lost some slime coat, maybe add some salt and melafix so the parts that dont have slime wont get infected.Nope, just a million bumps, seems like there's more every time I see him
kno4te
can advice more meda than me
I'm more worried about the pimple things on him. No white patches on the other one but bumps are on him now too, not as densely though. Not sure if I just didn't notice them before or if they're new. Here's an update pic of patient 0:
Gender had similar spots due to b-worms. Happens when polys come straight out the rivers.
