is my pleco sick??

My pleco is acting fine, but has some wierd looking, for lack of better wording, "poop" hanging from his underside. it is very thin and translucent. He is eating fine--actually comes to feed up top with the platy's on thier flake food and still gets wafers regularly. Is this an indication that something is wrong? ? thanks --Lila

Feed a vegetable matter, such as zucchini or cucumber. Just be sure to do a waterchange the next day, because the water will appear slightly cloudy. (I use metal curtain clips as a weight for the veggies. Or boiling it for 30 seconds will cause it to sink.)

Re: is my pleco sick??

I agree with chief waterchanger. Sometimes their poop looks like that because they aren't getting enough to eat. Plecos usually come to the top of the water like that to get the flakes because they are not getting enough to eat on the bottom or the glass. His own piece of zucchini will solve that problem quickly.
