let me add to this....its like this, my pleco is not pooping nor have i seen him get rid of access air....he looks like he's going to explode....anybody got any info on this. im fixing to put him in another tank...just in case, if he has a internal parasite.
Then there is a likeliest chance this is constipation. What do you usually feed him? Fast him for a few days.
he eats the algae wafers and what ever floats to the bottom of the tank, like cichlid gold pellets. ive put him in another tank...just in case he has a infectious parasite.
Feed him peas I'm not 100% garantee but it worked for a few people including me to get rid of bloat.
