Hi,

About a week ago I noticed that my Pleco was not acting normal. He is about 12 inches long, and I am not sure of his age. He no longer sucks the sides of the tank, however I do feed hin algae wafers everyday. He lays on his side most of the time now. He appears to be sinking in on the underside. He also has some type of sores on his underside. He barely moves at all anymore. There have been no changes made to my tank at all. No new fish, no water changes, etc. Can you please advise me on what I can do to heal him if anything? Thank you in advance.

What sized tank are you keeping the pleco in? What other fish are in with the pleco?

What do you mean 'no water changes'? Plecos put off a lot of waste and need a lot of water changes.
