When plecos die are they still able to stick on things with their mouths?

I would think not. The LFS had a dead one, and he sure wasn't sticking to anything!

Ok I was wondering because my new one hasn't moved ( that I know of) in two days, but the thing is she sits with her nose above the water which is kinda weird.

No, when my died he went really pale, I caught my cana snail walking around my tank with the dead plec in her mouth! Yuck

Alright thanks and I've had some that went pale and died but haha that would be pretty disturbing.
