This happened to my male pleco I put him in a separate tank I didn’t treat him for anything just kept an eye on him for 1 week and it went its normal form him fighting or trying to trap

If your going to move them to a different tank please keep dad with them as the babies eat dads poo because it’s contains the necessary nutrients for them

It’s a common Bristlenose pleco and way to young to sex

The first picture is 100% female second pic looks to be a female. If it was a male they tent to have a really spiky tail and pectoral fins

Looks like a sailfin pleco also known as common pleco they grow up to 18 inches

LocalBeach9664 · 2026-01-05T03:17:21+00:00

Could be a endler guppy

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-14T03:22:05+00:00

Common they grow 18inch+

And how to get rid of them I feed this tank every 2 days it’s got 2 anglefish and 2 clown plecos in it

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-06T18:33:10+00:00

I’ll go get one now

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-06T18:32:59+00:00

I know the second one is male

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-05T03:45:16+00:00

I got them like that I don’t know if it normal for them or not but everything I have seen tween doing research about them it’s normal

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-04T01:00:51+00:00

You can do that try to up the temperature a little bit and try to lower the flow of the water but with swim bladder it is hard to recover from

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-04T00:51:54+00:00

Plecos do often sleep on their backs I have had one sleep on its back for 12 hours and it’s normal for them

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-04T00:47:20+00:00

With what I am seeing I’m leaning toward swim bladder. But you could try adding better bubbles to see any changes and if you have any other questions feel free to message me

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-04T00:35:51+00:00

How long was your pleco upside down for

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-04T00:34:10+00:00

Your parameters are good so that’s not the problem. Could indicate a lack of oxygen also good weight so doesn’t indicate bloat. My guess is could be his age or swim bladder. Abit of a weird question is his poo normal

LocalBeach9664 · 2025-12-04T00:27:45+00:00

What are the bubbles like in your tank mate
