Sorry to hear about your pleco, sounds like somthing is up with it. Have you checked the water quality? Since they are nocturnal, I would try turning off the lights and seeing if you can get it to move. Do you feed it food? Mine love cucumber, as well as bloodworms, and those discs. Keep us posted, and let us know.

yeah they eat algae wafers.....his colour and breathing is okay

water is fine......temp is 25/26....he just sits there......doesnt look like anythin is wrong tho

Its probably fine but whats ur ammonia and nitrite levels like as these can tend to concentrate towards the bottom of the tanks.

Plecos are nocternal and may just have a favourite spot, see if you can creep down an hour or 2 after lights out and have a look then.
