Okay, so I got this pleco about two weeks ago, and he has been the laziest! Then, all of a sudden, I almost cooked my Convict, had creepy water conditions, and stressed the heck out of the pleco when I drained the tank to the top of his back...
...then yesterday he swam all over the tank and sucked on every green leaf he could find, and pulled the fake grass I had poked through a little hole on a rock and seems like a new fish.
Two things happened: I killed my sister's JD and joined this forum.
So I'm thinking I MUST have a guardian angel--but more likely, I removed most of his food source when I drained the tank. Something I need to learn more about--PROPER WATER CHANGES. Anyone have a tried (have done this for at least a year with good results) and true (your fish are healthier and happier for it) method they would like to share?
