What's wrong with my Pseudacanthicus leopardus (L600)

[GW_NL]

Quite some time ago my L600 had a stronge spot on the head at the right eye. I thought it was caused by a bump against the wood or something like that. At first the spot seemed to disappear, but now is seems to get worse and worse.

It seems to be a fungus or a bacterial infection of some kind??? Please help me! What is it and what should I do?

I tried to make some pics. Quality is poor. I realise that it makes it difficult to diagnose, but I hope the pictures are good enough..

First 2 pics are from the beginning the rest is more recent.

Looks like a bacterial infection. Try eSha2000!

Very nice female you have!

Tnx voor your reaction.

Isn't Esha a bit dangerous for catfish?

I'm thinking about using Sera bactopur.

BTW I already thought it was a female. Are you sure about the sex?

I've used eSha 2000 for plecos several times without any problems!

I'm 100% sure that you have a female! She looks a bit gravid too!

Do you have a male for her?

Cheers

I'll second this. I had to use it several times and it's still a fine and safe medicin to work with. And you know how I feel about my cats: I'd never use anything that might harm them.

Ok tnx!

I have another L600, but I'm not sure about the sex. I think it's a boy...

This one is a lot smaller than the female. I think he/she still has to grow a bit before he/she is ready for breeding.

Thats harder to tell, but I would also say male!
