what is the temp of your tank?

it's one of two possibilities. either the fish has broken its back or has ammonia poisoning. refer to this thread for more info. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?411815-Gar-injuries-diseases-amp-Treatment

also, i would suggest you remove the pleco from the tank asap as they tend to suck the slime off gars AND bichirs, leading to possible infections and death.
