Is it normal for a plecostamus2007-11-24 23:37:19

i have a medium size pleco..is it normal for him to drag around 10"-12" of POOP around with him? please help! THANX

Answers:

Yes.

It happens to goldfish, gouramis, all kinds of fish.

Touch the tank glass really fast to scare him, and he'll zoom away, breaking the * off.

sorry but yes

No it is not normal, your pleco is probably getting too much to

eat.

---

This is totally normal, it just depends on its diet. I have noticed that if I feed mine algi table it got worse.

---

The people that posted are correct, it all depends on it diet!

I have seen some fish that have done worse! it should come off sooner or later.. i

My pleco is the same as the other guys, he has more pooh when I feed him algae tablets rather than when he is just eating normal food scraps and crud off of the tank. Maybe processed algae gives them constipation or somthing : )

I know it looks gross, but yea, it's normal. i've got 3 different pleco's and they all do it.

---

you probably dont have enough plants to knock the poo off..

---

Yeah our big pleco swims around with one of the plants on her nose & about her body length of poop behind her. I guess they don't have a cookie cutter the way us mammals do?

yes nearly all fish do
