So we have to roughly 11 in plecos. They are separated between both of our 75 gallon tanks. The pleco that is in my tank is amazing he looks good no spots no nothing he doesn't reach the surface for air he doesn't bash his face on anything nothing.
Now my fiance's pleco it's like he's just angry at the world. he has a bubbler in his aquarium so his oxygen level should be fine but pleco keeps coming out of his cave sometimes he goes all the way to the surface sometimes he doesn't go to the top but he turns around and just bashes his face on his cave and it's really starting to injure him.

We've kind of come to the decision that we have to remove his Rock cave that is in the aquarium but we don't know what to replace it with.

Please any and all suggestions would be helpful.

Maybe needs some wood to hide in instead of the cave. Find one with a good space to slide into for him.

Is there another male sneaking up on him?

Maybe parasites, maybe bad eyesight. I don't know, but that is super sad.
