My 8yr old son insisted that we couldn't leave that poorly fish in the store today. We need to save it dad!!! So I've come home today with a skinny looking royal plec. It doesn't look well at all but I promised my son I'd try and get it back to health. Do any of you wonderful people have any ideas or tricks of the trade that may assist me in this task.

Thanks

Oh my goodness...poor fish! Good on you for taking him in. Have you gotten him to eat yet?

No not yet!! I've put some sweet potatoe and pleco tablets in for through the night to see if he'll eat then.

I'm not experienced with plecos...I know garlic infused foods sometimes coax fish to eat. Perhaps look into if it would be safe for him? Hopefully a pleco expert will come along soon...I hope he perks up for you!
