I have a 55 gallon tank with 2 Placostomouses and 4 Oscars (2 will be going to another tank soon). About a week ago, I noticed that one of the Placos was floating at the top of the tank. Assuming it was dead, I went to scoop it up, but it was still alive. I didn't think much of it and figured it would die within the next 24 hrs. Well, I was wrong. Here it is a week later, still alive and floating at the top of the tank. If I poke it, it will swim away upside down and stay that way. Does anyone know what it is doing? IP: Logged |

he will probably end up dead, my Pleco acted like that (upside down etc.) and he lasted 2 months. he would swim normal sometimes, but would rest upside down and acted odd. He eventually kicked the bucket from it though. So we'll see. IP: Logged |

Sounds like it could very well be a swim balder problem. Is it getting enough food? Is there any dirft wood in the tank for them to eat as well? IP: Logged |

No there isn't any driftwood in the tank but we feed the plecos algae discs on a daily basis. IP: Logged |
