 DL> How big is your pleco? By 2 years Mine was appx 5-6 inchs long.
About 5 inches (approx) in a 10 gal. tank.  The exact age is unknown as
we inherrited the tank.
 DL> Of course I kept it in a 60 gal and fed it tablets.
Oh yes.... :-)  The tablets.  We have fun with those.   We drop the
tablet in first, so that he/she notices it and wanders down.  Then feed
the other goldfish.  If the goldfish are fed first, Ple*co gets
interested in the flakes also. :-)
 DL> Could be poor stock, caught some disease, or was starving.
The starving and/or poor stock seems to be the cause judging by his 
message.  No mention of tablets, or anything else for that matter.  
It must have cleaned the tank then ran out of "food".  However, 3 weeks
does seem awlfully short. :)
 DL> Got to suppliment a pleco with food, they cannot live on algae in a
 DL> tank, in wild theres algae all over, just moves on as a areas cleaned
 DL> up (ate up), not so in a tank.
It's interesting looking at his/her gaping mouth stuck to the tank wall.
:)  Just keeps on living though.
See ya, Cameron Hall
