Hi All,
I have a 70 litre tank with 2 Clown Loaches , a Molly and a Plec that I have had for 2 years. (We have moved house in that time, but that was 10 months ago now).
A couple of weeks ago, the Molly died. She started swimming in a cork screw like motion and banging into everything in the tank. We made a make shift 'containment area' for her in the tank so that she wouldnt bash her self about (and so the loaches wouldnt keep hassling her) out of a plastic pint glass which we floated in the tank. Unfortunately, the next morning she was dead.
All the other fish in the tank (2 Loaches and the Plec) seemed absolutely fine. However since this happened we haven't seen the plec at all. This was weird because he's usually quite active and a little boistrous, especially during feeding time! They dont fight, it's just like he's King of the Tank and everyone knows it!
He has a little log that he likes to hide in, but he's been in there now for over two (nearly three) weeks! I got worried that he had got stuck, or had died in there or something, so I gently moved the log about (just rocking it gently from side to side). I could see him moving about and he even came to the opening on the side and poked an eye out to see what I was doing.
I know he's still alive, but I'm worried there might be something wrong with him, any thoughts?
