geleen Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) I have a bristle nose that is about 3 years old. He has taken to laying on his back on the gravel, under a rock; and moves away very quickly when you approach him. I have not seen this before in the others that I have....any idea's? thanks john Edited February 18, 2010 by geleen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaFishMommy Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 my bn always moves away like hot snot, lol, when i go near wherever he may be in the tank. maybe it's possible that your pleco just found a rock he really likes to hang out on upside down? from what i've seen and read it's not unusual for them to be upside down, sucking the yummies off something or another (rock, wood, plant etc).

darkangel Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 I would keep an eye on him for a few days. I had one doing something similar, then he seemed like he was fine. This morning when I fed the fish I found him in the front of the tank with a good case of rigermortis (stone cold dead). My guy was about 8 years old.
