Sounds like you aren't feeding it enough. Or, you aren't feeding it the right stuff. What kind of pleco is it? Picture maybe?

Its a Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps,
sorry I can not post a picture at the moment. I feed 2 Algae wafer (King British) twice a week and a medium size cucumber once a week.

How long have you had it? What size tank is it in, and what are your water parameters?
