Question
hi, i am trying to find out what medicines i can give my placo. we added another fish to his tank 2 weeks ago and the other fish died and now my placo has white spots on his eyes and body. my question is what medicines can i use on him since he doesnt have scales, thanks

Answer
Hi Billie,
Medications are not the answer in this case. You need to make sure the water is clean (do a partial water change of 25% today and again tommorrow). You also need to make sure that another fish is not attacking the pleco (the ususal cause for white eyes).
