Heartbroken to saw my pleco didn't survive. Noticed red through his skin on his belly.

Thank you. We are fasting him. I hope the poor baby gets better.

He was in an elementary school tank..all the fish ended up dying most likely from the stress of the kids who didn't care how often they hit the tank forcefully. Now the pleco is bloated looking. I've tried to feed him peas, he ate one out of my hand but that was it. He's not much of a veggie...

Thank you! I'll try and see if they're mystery snail eggs or not. I feel bad if they drowned. :(

They are clustered but it's not too big, maybe an inch or two inches max. Should I pull them out of water or think it's too late since they already were dropped in water at the school? :( Thanks for the link!

No, not that I know of. It's a fish tank at an elementary school so they could have been at one point and I wouldn't of known it. If it is snail eggs, will they hatch? If so, how long?

Anyone know?

Aww pleco eggs, how cute. Shame they wouldn't hatch though. Here's pictures, best I could get with my camera! :(

Sure, I'll try to get a picture and post it. I only have black skirt tetras, one pleco, one snail, and platys.

Little white gooey/sticky balls I guess you could say :huh: Strange way to describe it I know.

I do feed my pleco algae wafers, give him a couple a day. He loves to move them around the tank, my pleco is a crazy one!

I just brought them home with the little hood light that came with the tank, should I turn it off then? My tank isn't overstocked at all at the school, lol. It could use a few more! Someone tried to give me a huge pleco for the tank and I did decline that though because I didn't want it hurting...

So..at the tank I care for at the elementary school I came to feed the fish and saw a surprise today. In the corner there were fish eggs! They had to of come from my black skirt tetras. My question is, what do I do now? They weren't there yesterday but were there this morning. It's a 55 gallon...

Great, I may try that later if he doesn't get the air out himself in a few hours. Thanks for the great information! I'm glad my snail is okay, alive, and that this is a normal thing they do.

I tried to move it and see if I could get any air out of him but no luck. He came out of his shell a tiny bit and air bubbles did come out but not all the way and he's still floating. His siphon came out for a few minutes so he's still alive thankfully! I've never owned snails before and to see...
