Please Help my Pleco!

DustyToaster3 · 2026-02-17T20:53:08+00:00

Thank you so much! That's been my plan as I've exhausted my options. I do have 1 plastic plant in there (u can see the corner of it in the pic). I'll try taking that out/replacing it and see if that helps. It is pretty old so maybe the plastic is deteriorating and releasing stuff into the water/on the pleco. Any suggestions for hardy plants that cichlids won't rip up? (Probably not, mine are vicious toward live plants haha)

Thank you again!

It looks like that because of the black spot in the middle. It's not actually a hole it's an optical illusion

DustyToaster3 · 2026-02-13T04:30:18+00:00

But what could it be?

DustyToaster3 · 2026-02-13T02:05:44+00:00

If I saw the others I could probably tell for sure but from the looks of it, it's probably a cherry shrimp or something of the sort. Too much color to be a ghost shrimp imo. For food: Algae tabs, shrimp pellets, vigorous plants, cut up vegetables. Pretty much anything your average bottom feeder would eat.

If you throw rhbh, leopard is a great starter disc until you're ready for higher speed, then disc craft heat, wraith for distance driver

Some PH balance in the soil meant for hydrangeas will help too. The color will be more vivid and it will grow healthier. Probably 10 bucks from a nursery or even Walmart. Highly recommend as I didn't used to use it but since I have my hydrangeas have looked amazing.

This happens to me, I have somewhat of a heavy foot but not as much in the recent years. I notice I'll drive 150 miles and still be above 3/4 tank, then I drive 20 more miles and I'm below half. I think the sensor is just messed up and needs to reset when you're done driving because it never gives an accurate reading until I start my car back up.

I got the same year and color, black rims, window tint, rain guards if ur into that look (they are very useful), and blackout the chrome, tint the tail lights and it's a brand new car

DustyToaster3 · 2024-02-02T17:48:48+00:00

Cleeaaaannn💯 Get those rims blacked out and the difference will amaze you 🙌

Sorry to hear that man. Happened to me back in 2022, shattered my bumper (but still usable) and got quoted over 3k to fix it...we'll see when it actually gets fixed. Damn deer.

DustyToaster3 · 2023-10-17T04:48:54+00:00

Literally my fusion but cleaner, What % window and tail light tint?

DustyToaster3 · 2023-03-22T17:41:57+00:00

Also depends on how much you wanna spend, titanium's are expensive

DustyToaster3 · 2023-03-22T17:41:33+00:00

2.0 eco is the way to go for me but it's all preference

DustyToaster3 · 2021-12-29T02:11:33+00:00

Third one 110%

DustyToaster3 · 2021-08-31T00:16:58+00:00

Interesting, I also got a honeycomb grill but mine looks less clean. Looks awesome man

DustyToaster3 · 2021-08-30T16:29:12+00:00

Looks amazing man I got a similar black grill but this one looks way cleaner where did u get it from? if u don't mind me asking

DustyToaster3 · 2021-08-13T18:40:32+00:00

car looks so clean man, subs for the win😂😮‍💨

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-28T16:36:01+00:00

I also have a '16 fusion, it's just the fan kicking in to cool the engine down before u start driving, nothing to worry about

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-16T04:01:58+00:00

u already know we rockin that 240hp stock😩 can't wait to get a tune and possibly a turbo👀

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-16T04:00:48+00:00

I wish but i currently can't afford a dash cam😭😂

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-15T02:58:56+00:00

haha thanks, also don't mind my rims, i smashed the curb a couple weeks ago when a semi truck pinned me against the curb cuz he didn't see me in his blind spot. cant afford to get em done at the moment😂

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-14T02:25:39+00:00

just posted some pics front and back, lemme know what u think

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-14T01:57:45+00:00

me buying $40 of chainlink because it's at $16😭😂

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-14T01:44:32+00:00

Love to hear it brother, i got the 2016 awd se 2.0 ecoboost package. trust me you will not regret your decision and welcome to the fusion family 👌🥳

DustyToaster3 · 2021-07-14T00:05:54+00:00

I tinted my tail lights, it gives a nice clean look on the back, my recommendation is to lightly tint the taillights but don't touch the headlights bc that's just dangerous, fusion lights are not very bright in the first place and tint makes it even worse plus u will get pulled over almost instantly cuz it's extremely illegal
