Hello, I'm a new member here and I purely created my account to get some help with my pleco. I purchased him about a couple days ago, boarding around a week and he has been fine until now. I checked my aquarium and I found him floating on his side. He's still alive and doesn't really move which of course makes me worried.
I have a 5.5 gallon aquarium, with two common goldfish and one of those comet feeder fish (which i obtained about a year or so ago) So, I'm not exactly sure what type of pleco he is because from where I obtained him it simply said gold pleco and after searching that up he doesnt really look anything like the images
I have an aqueon quietflow 10 on my tank flow rate being 100 gallons per hour.
I did add a new substrate to the aquarium but I had done that before I purchased the pleco
We just did a water change and I havent tested the PH or ammonia level. I cant really afford any of the tests right now
I feed fish flakes and granules in the tank, also got some algae wafers but he didnt seem to like that as I havent seen him go near it.
At the moment he is floating completely upside down at the surface, tried feeding some peas but he wont eat them.
