recently a month ago i purchased this fish and everything has been fine until a day ago. My fish jump's out of the water like it is a dolphin. Swims in circles and is acting very hyper. I just found out today that i was suppose to be feeding my fish fruits and veggies which i wasnt giving. Today i gave my fish brocolii stems and sweet potatoes but i don't know what is wrong with him. also he won't suck on on to anything

Sorry you didn't get more help in the chat room...guess they wanted to discuss drinks and the weekemd. You said you has a 30 gal? 4 wks old?
Water change last week? You mentioned tests sat, but could you post actual pH, ammon, nitrite and nitrate levels for everybody's viewing? What kind of filter, and besides the moors, what else in the tank?

I am not a cat/bottom fish expert, but do know plecos can be very sensitive to pH and nitrates. I worry that your tank is still cycling and your ammonia is going up and down. Please post exact readings, minimize the feeding and do water changes to keep ammonia low. Remove any uneaten food for the pleco, first thing the next morning.
