I could be completely wrong here, but I think Furan-2 is safe at full
dose (I think it's the malachite green and/or formalin meds which are too
toxic), and.... plecos are considered scaleless?? I can't think of a
more armoured fish.

I'm setting up the hospital tank right now, best I could find today was
a
med called Furan-2, contains nitrofurazone, furazolidone and methylblue
trihydrate. I'll also ad salt to the mixture.

Now being this is a Pleco, scaleless fish, does this med require 1/2
does,
or can it be used full dose. Package does not state whether it's safe
at
full dose or not.

Thanks everyone.

Bacterial viruse called Lymphocystis - buff to milky-white colored

would also add eather Kanamycin or Maracyn Two, to the tank -
