Pleco Starving Himself? :(

[CouponDiva]

I have no clue what is going on with my Pleco. He is about 8yrs old so I don't know if he is just slowing down or what.

I have posted about him a couple of weeks ago here

Yesterday I noticed his stomach is caving in and when I google it, it says they are hungry. Now I feed him just about every day, always throw in fresh veggies for him and just really don't think he is interested in anything. I have given him algae tablets, shrimp tablets, blood worms, brine shrimp and I am guessing he just has no interest in anything

Anyone else ever had a pleco not interested in food? If so what did you do? What should I do? Is it too late?

What size tank is he in? Is that a common pleco?

Oops sorry forgot to add that info. He is in a 30 gallon which is what he has lived in for 8yrs with the previous owners. I believe that he is a common

I have a small bristlenose that won't eat anything but brown algae. In fact, she is such a picky eater that my fiance and I need to "take turns" with her or she will clean out our tanks and then quit eating.

Awww! He has only stopped eating from what I could tell just recently.
