are your tank stats fine and your tank is fully cycled? Also what is the size of your tank?

What kind of plec is it? I have an albino one and there is times I think wait a sec he is not moving so I investigate and he shoots off. To be honest half the time I cant even find him. I had everything moved the other day as he went missing and after about 20 minutes I gave up looking then later on I spotted him swimming about.

They seem to love being glued to the spot most of the time so I wouldnt worry too much.

probs a common or gibby then, will out grow your tank unless its massive

but thinking about it, it could also be a BN they have a habit of lying on there backs, especially males

best way would be to get a piccy up if possible
