My new L-264

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
nice pick up
 
cause if it is sunk then the pleco is undernourished, and or ill. basically happens when they don't feed, its always better to pick a pleco without a hollow belly, more likely to survive
 
Loach is being reasonable your tank doesn't look too pleco friendly, how about rockery, places to hide, plants changed of substrate to something a littel darker and less course too, then use lots of pleco wafers and live and freeze dried foods, also check your water for contaminants and then you shoudl do well with the next ones, best of luck was a lovely fish, sur your next ones will be fine.
 
In my experience, L264's are very temperamental. If you let your water quality go too much, or do to large of a water change, or just not often enough water changes, they will not do well. Often ending in death of these little guys, if you have them frequent 10-25% water changes are better than 50% once a week.
Sorry about your loss
 
another cause of sunken stomach is sometimes in internal parasite. If it has a sunken stomach I stay away.
