[MewMew42]

Hey all!

just today i bought a whiptail catfish and a rubber nose pleco

the whiptail had settled in really well

but the rubber nose is under my filter not really moving...is this normal?

ive tried to look on the internet for information on them but i havent really found many useful things

could anyone help?

thanks!

Have you got a pic?
If it is a Rubber Nose Plec, as far as I know, they prefer cooler water than your normal tropical tank.

He doesnt look overly stressed by the pic so i would just leave him be and keep an eye on him, he should settle down soon enough
