That thing looks to have multiple issues. id say bacteria and cloud eye to start. That water must have not been changed regularly. Must do a wc at least 1x per week, keep the water clean, as for meds Idk, I've never had to use them..

Thanks for the replay
Its not a water problem, all of the parameters are fine
I do WC in same way over 2 years, replacing40% water every friday
The only thing i did is to clean ( in same way like every time) one of my filters( 3 weeks ago)
Its look like somekind of parasite...
 
I had a problem like that years ago. Then I put u.v. Sterilizer on my tank and it fixed the problem. So i was thinking it was some kind of parasite. So now everyone of my tanks have u.v. on them I love those things. I would get one of them and put on your tank cause chances are that will spread to your other plecos, that is what happened to mine. I am not a fan of dumping tons of medication into a tank when you can eliminate it naturally. Good luck
