My pleco started having issues last night after I did a water change. I noticed he was a little pale, but I didn't think much of it. I did a water change and the PH was normal around 6.8. Last night though I noticed he was swimming very quickly up and down the walls of the tank and looking uncomfortable. This morning I came out and checked on him and his fins are all ripped up, and I highly doubt it is because of his fish partners. Is this because of bad water? How do I help him? He is in a 5.5 gal right now (I know, too small) with a beta fish and before he was in a 40 gal with an angel fish. He has lived with both with no problems all of a sudden he is freaking out please help me! What do I do?
