I came home today to find my new butterfly plec not looking all that great. It has wedged itself behind a piece of bog wood and is lying partly on its back and side. His mouth is still moving in the normal way and his belly is the same colour as always (white). We bought him on Friday last week and he seemed fine. I've never seen him eating anything but when I get up in the mornings, pellets and cucumber slices have gone (but that could be the platies!). I just thought the lack of enthusiasm at feeding time was due to his newness in the tank. My tank has been running for 6 months. Here are my water stats:
Ammonia - 0ppm
Nitrite - 0ppm
Nitrate - 10ppm
PH - 8
Tank temp today: 80
Tank - 90 gallons
Please someone help me! I really don't want to lose my plec. He is quite a rare, speciality plec and he is really great. He currently shares the floor with my bristle-nose who doesn't really like him very much but apart from a bit of nudging (bristle-nose) and ignoring (butterfly) there hasn't been any problems. Any advice?
