I have a 75 gallon tank setup for almost 2 years. Have had issues with high Nitrate readings but with large water changes twice a week that is down to around 5-10 ppm. There are 2 plecos and 12 cichlids in the tank. One fish that has been the most aggressive in the tank has in the last couple of days become sluggish and sort of hides in the back. The fish has what appears to be some sort of scrap on his side and we recently lost a fish that had a similar mark on him. The majority of the fish in the tank are OB Peacocks. The fish with the problem is a light blue color and we bought him with some others from a local pet store 2 years ago. PH in the tank is high because our well water has high PH and the fish have been just fine with that. Some of the OB Peacocks were hatched in the tank. We feed them once a day with large flake food and occasionally with frozen brine.
Question is how to treat the one fish. SHould we take him out and treat with aquarium salt or can we get away with treating the whole tank with salt? Plecos are supposed to not like salt.
