That's so sad to hear... I really do hope he ate the medicine flakes. Have you considered a quarantine tank for your Pleco since he's the one that seems in worst shape? It might help a lot. Maybe raising the temp will help if you haven't done so yet.
Good luck to you and your fish.

Well, at this point, putting the Pleco in a quarantine tank isn't an option, (don't have one). That and he seems to be improving, but it's slow. I was reading an article about Plecos and it said that when they're sick, it increases their sensitivity to light. I don't know how much truth there is to that, but it could explain why he's only active after I turn off the lights at night.
Oh and yes, temp has been slowly increased and holding around 84-86 degrees. I also placed additional air hoses in the tank to help with oxygen loss from increasing the water temp.
here is a picture of mine, dont mind the ugly tank it was in the midst of being completely re-done
Thank you for sharing the pic! Great looking fish!
