I had one for a few years and that happen suddenly. I don't know what happen too. It eventually died. Good Luck.
He is either not eating or has internal parasites. Put a cucumber in there and see if you can actually see him eat. How long have you had him?
Zuccini would be alot better than cucumber, but at this point get him to ear whatever veggies you can. It's there driftwood in the tank?
That could be your problem. They need wood to aid in digestion. Go get some driftwood asap and treat with Prazipro
Add driftwood...the Malaysian kind is good enough...
Buy some zucchini, slice them in half and anchor it with a fork or a clip near the bottom of the tank in multiple locations since you have multiple plecos...maybe one close to where he likes to hang out...and leave it over night to see if he touches the stuff or not.
If he eats chances are he can be saved, if not, a lesson that I learned long ago...always look to see if the fancy pleco eats or not...otherwise it might be too late if you notice he does not act well.
Is his eyes sunken in?
