I cant tell what it is. This is also a pretty rare moment, he doesnt usually come out on to the glass. He swims and acts normal, except for comming on to the glass. I have 3 other plecs. 6" royal, 4" Snowball, and a 5" L-129. All the others act normal. I cant tell if he is pooping or not either. With 4 plecs, 2 clown loaches and 4 cories + a decent amount of plants, I have alot of ground movement and all the poop gets pushed back into the plants.
Parameters are 0, 0, 10-20, PH is kinda high at 8.0, but it has been that since ive had the tank and the Gold Nugget has been in it for over 4 months. He started showing signs about 3-4 days ago. I do weekly 10-25% water changes, with larger ones every couple of weeks. No new fish have been added for about month. Oh yeah temp never moves from 80F

oh yeah, i put in 1 slice of squash, 1 slice of cucumber, and 1 slice of zucchini every other night. They are spaced out all over the tank in different spots each time. He also gets these occassionally (blood worms, tetra bits, and sinking carnivore pellets).

he is about 5-6"

the tank is a 125 gallon, makes him look smaller in the pic than in real life.
