Something looks very wrong with that pleco. He isn't in good health I can tell you that much. As to a specific disease/infection, I am not sure. Is the stomach sunken?

Thanks for the reply-
Not sure if we are looking at a disease/infection or not-
Stomach seems to be fine-He does eat-But not overly aggressive in this dept-He has three other common pleco's to fight for food with also...

He does seem very narrow like he may not be an aggressive eater.. maybe you can take him out and put him in his own tank and fatten him up.. and he will regain his health.

Eats-But not a ton-Kinda doesn't like to be in open waters much either...

It's sink or swim for this guy unfortunately---All my tanks are crammed with pleco's

his scales are a bit open aswell. And he lookes skinny. I am thinking off a disease, but don't know the english name. I am gone search it up.

His scales does caution me-Never seen something like this before-Not sure if a disease though..
 
My bushy nose just survived a bout with Bloat. He had white poo and looked swollen. Didn't eat much either. if You determine that to be the problem, I used Maracyn Plus ...its a 5-6 day treatment and worked extremely well. He's pulled through and is eating pretty well now.

Hope yours pulls through!

Good luck

No case of bloat here-


I have a damn good idea on what happened to him-But would like to see if other could come up with same scenario as I did...

Besides looking messed up-
I believe this guy to be in decent health----No disease-No bloat etc,etc....
 
but is that discoloration normal because mine has that to and he eats like a king in his tank he doesn't poop white stuff either, does anyone know what it is?
 
Coloration is not normal on my guy-

Not dropsy either-
This is the result of beng stunted guys and gals- And it's a perfect example of one too-
It lived in he house pictured in the background-
I did not no the guy as stuck in their fo over a year or so...Once I found something moveing in there I pulled it out a this guy appears----Poor fella is all I can say about the situation-And honestly has me feeling like garbage also....Aso not exactly sure when the guy decided to cral in their either-----But I know it's been quite so time since I purchased a busynose pleco...LOL
