Hi,

I have a problem with a common 5" Pleco that I picked up from the store two days ago. He developed Red "wounds" on his body and his fns are shredding badly. I took all precautionary steps available to introduce him to the tank, and I cant see the 5 other goldfish attacking him, so could this just be ICK or is it something worse? He is starting to "float", almost as if he doesnt have much longer to live, to the top and then moves a bit. Can anyone direct me? Thanks
