:newbie: hi all, i am new and this is my first post to the forum....my pleco is a bit poorly this morning...not moving much , looking a bit stunned and panting (breathing fast )....it looks llike his mouth is bleeding...it is red and swollen underneath...he does tend to dart around the tank alot and im wondering if hes bashed himself off a bit of wood or stone...he usually has himself attached to the bogwood quite happily or tucked away underneath it, but he hasnt latched on to anything this morning and hes quietly sitting in the corner of the tank out in the open doing nothing....not normal for him!...wondering if a bit of melafix would be the best thing today?..
