Ancistrus over ate?

[jandb]

i fed these guys some fresh zucchini yesterday and he’s real fat this morning. Should I be worried about this? Is there something I can do?

If it’s acting normal and water is clean then just hold on feedings till the belly goes down. If not and acting lethargic or sickly then can add some Epsom salt 1tbsp per 5g.

Would try waiting it out and make sure ur water is pristine.

I've got several plecos that have a belly so as said if acting normal and water is good then should be fine

If its a female she may be getting eggy.

Sounds good. Thanks. I’ll keep an eye on him

I used to have a common pleco. He'd gorge himself on veg and then his belly would get quite plump. He'd just poop it out

I've got a couple large plecos that when on the ground they balance on their big bellies
