Fat plecos

[catman]

I feed my plecos every night and they never seem to get fat. I was wondering if I am feeding them enough or if this is normal.

If they're eating every night I doubt theres a problem. I'm not so sure plecos are supposed to 'get fat.' I don't think they're bellies bulge like other fish that finish eating a big meal...but I could be wrong.

I wouldn't worry at all. I've had plecos that never seem to stop eating and they never get fat.

I think they just poop way to much to ever get fat

exactly, they poop as fast as they eat

I really only have one pleco that looks a bit chunky, and I'm starting to wonder if it is because it's a female. Not good at sexing plecos but it has a few different characteristics from the other one I have of the same species. But otherwise my plecos eat like pigs and really dont get fat.
