Oh n one albino pleco

Considering the tank size and the amount of stock you have, my guess is he died because he could not handle the toxin levels anymore.

 

[vindogg]

Well he's not dead he still alive just rarther lethargic n the levels was like that since my filter broke 9-10 days ago since which iv replaced and he only started showing these signs last night

Does the fish look like there is a injury to him. I have one also that is in a tank by himself. In my community tank he would attack everything. So I tried him in my cichlid tank and everything was attacking him. Have you noticed any bulling? Do you have a sick tank running? If yes, put him in there and raise the temp up a tad and do small water changes. Look on the net for salt treat baths, you will have to check for albino shark if they can tolerate them. Most fish can. I have found non iodized table salt to be very effective with Ill fish. Good luck
