He looks thin. His skin looks patchy and he’s been much more timid and hasn’t been out as much or swam with his frill out since we have switched to the bigger tank (from 35g to 120g) About a month ago.
He has his old cave to hide in, but everything else is different. River rock now instead of gravel, Acrylic instead of glass.
The pleco feeder we have doesn’t reach all the way to the bottom of the new tank where he’s been used to eating and I think the goldfish has been stealing his food
I know he needs more hides and plants, it’s a lot more open and we’ve had trouble regulating temp. 2 heaters, hover right around 76 between both sides (one is 76 other heater reads 75-you can see them in the 2nd picture)
1st pic is a few minutes ago
2nd is the tank
3rd is right before he moved to his new home
15” pleco- we think sailfin about 6 or 7 years old.
Please. Squiggly is our baby. My kids are special needs and my oldest is crying and pacing and can’t sleep. We need to help his friend.

Sick pleco
Pleas help. He’s sick and we need help, I originally posted this (link below) in the pleco bottom dweller forum but I thought I might get a better response here Only other notes: 1) we added the plant food yesterday Easy Green from aquarium co-op 2) Nitrates are high, close to 40 doing a water...
