Title: i think my plecco is sick. please help
Post by: AquaponicJim on November 24, 2014, 11:13:44 PM

He looks bloated to me. He is not floating at the top, but is not moving around as much. Ive noticed it the last 4 days and it is not getting any smaller.

Could be female and she has eggs.  That would make the catfish look fat.

Could be some kind of bloat/disease...or it could be the catfish ate another fish? 

Looks like an inspector type pleco?  How big is it?
