Help required. Sick Zebra pleco with pic.

[martin808]

Hi,
For the last few days Ive noticed a red patch on one of my zebras just below the eye.This red patch has now developed into a small spot(shown in the pic below).
Can anyone help me with diagnosis and suggest a treatment
Ive also noticed a few different things on the glass of the tank ...
1 some small snail like things ,they are only about 3mm round footprint with a small body and clear/white appearance.You can see one of these towards the top of the pic.
2 some very small worm type creatures about 2mm long, very thin and white.
3 some small woodlice type things about 1mm.
Could anyone tell me where they came from and how do I get rid of them I still ony feed them mainly frozen bloodworm and a bit of frozen artemia.Its all they will eat

Sorry about the quality I was sat infront of tank camera in hand for about 1.5 hours to get this

This sounds like planaria (flatworms). They are harmless to your fish, and can be gotten rid of with a salt treatment (you'd have top take the fish out first).

some small woodlice type things about 1mm.

These are probably fish lice (<i>Argulus</i>) and may be responsible for the sore on your fish. Treat with a chitin inhibitor like diflubenzurone.

hi u could also wipe some betadine on the infected part.. water change, add heater, and add some antibiotics.. based from experience its quite effective ;)
