pleco belly

[ITHURTZ]

Where exactly is it? I searched for pics and no one has a "plump" pleco pic. I have been feeding mine pretty well the past week and he has a bulge like he has been eating but want to know if thats his belly or something else. Id get a pic but he moves to fast when hes not in his house.

hehe his belly is between his mouth and his ass. A fat pleco will balance on his big round belly when layed still. A skinny pleco will have a concave (goes in) belly. You get it?

Well, it's right below the head until right above the anus if that helps. In albinos you can see the intestines all coiled up inside them. I never had fat plecos until today.. threw in four slices of zucchini for my 5 1.5 inch plecos... well the 4 were rinds this morning, a lot quicker than they usually eat and all the plecos are chubby and lazy lol. They're gonna fast tonight .
