Sorry to hear about the loss...

What type of filtration do you have? What do you feed it? What intervals?

 

[SpEeDhOrN]

no it was in perfect condition but always used 2 dig in my sand and last night it dug under a rock to far and the rock trapped it while i was sleeeping so when i woke up it was berried totally cept for its tail fin in sand and the big rock i feel like it was my fault

I asked those questions becuase maybe the tank was in poor condition. It was not doing well, so it dug itself a gravel with a headstone

Sorry to hear about your loss mate, large Plecs like the Gibbiceps and Common Plecs often barge their way around the tank thinking their indistructable. My Gibbiceps often barges over plants and uproots them when he wants to get somewhere quick.
