I have a spotted catfish also known as a talkoing catfish but i think i have abig problem i really don't seem that often because he hides all the time but i have just checked on him and his stomach is really large is it possible for him to get droopsy or get pregnated by a common pleco??
 
my striped raphael does the same thing, i dont things its pregenatnt ve noticed mine just eats sooooo much it cant move (reeeaaallllyyy lame survival starategy) what concerns me is that he doesnt pass the neal till 2 days later sooooo....... i hope sumone can help us both.
 
what pleco is it? some are territorial of space to other bottom dwellers, but this wouldnt make it fat. i think they hide a lot anyway. its an imposibility for you pleco to mate with it
 
Yeah that is impossible for a pleco to do that. First catfish don't get pregnent, they lay eggs. And most likely you rapheal is just eating tons of food. That is what my old one use to do, It would eat tons of food and then I wouldn't see for days until it was hungry again.
