Does any one now why my pleco died he would be on the side of the tank and then he would fall off and sink to the bottom and lay on his side and then he would get back up and the same thing would happen to him then he just started floating vertically in the wateri moved him to a different tank and then 2 hours later he was dead

Was he eating enough. Plecos can eat quite a bit. Also check your water parameters. You may have a nitrite or amonia issue. Just cause everyone else is okay, doesn't mean you don't have water quality issues.

water quality is the first thing to check when you suspect a sick or dying fish.
