Plecos lay eggs, she may be eggbound. What kind of plecos are they?

 

[drprowant]

it is the common one that is tan with black dots all over e'm

If you are talking about common pleco's, it is very very rare for them to breed in home aquariums.

 

[drprowant]

but is it possible? tho cus it dos look like she is egg bound

I think it is possible but it is still very unlikly what are you feeding them?

 

[drprowant]

pleco wafers and they eat stuff off the glass and the tank floor

Try a variation in their diet. Like peas and cuccumber. All you need to do is put them in a little jug of water and then in the microwave for 1 minute then put in the tank.
Keep us posted if you see any changes
