Dead Pleco :(

Well a couple weks ago my pleco dies sadly. But it's death was very unknown to me. When i took it out my tank it had this white mucas growing on it. Can some one tell me what the heck that crap was on him?

 

The mucus most likely came after death. What are your water parameters? Also do you feed algae chips to your plecos?

 

What do you mean parameters and I never fed it chips because it seemed to be very content with the algae already in the tank. But before it died I noticed that his skin was getting blurry and his spots were sort of dissapearing. Is that a type of ick?

 

you didnt fed? at all?
by water parameters its meant ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, PH.. etc.

 

Yeah feeding a Pleco is a must. You can buy pleco wafers and many sinking pellets and tablets. I currantly have a 265gal FW tank running and my Pleco is about 12'' and eats more wafers then I can afford.

 

thanks for ur help guys i feel so bad... but i am learning so now ill know for nexy time
