I was doing a water change, and seen the pleco come out of a piece of driftwood. My mouth dropped when I seen it's belly. It looks like it ate a golfball.
It's breathing and appetite is normal.
The pleco is around 2.5-3"+ in size, and does have small bristles. I have heard that some female plecos may have bristles too. It is in a tank with 8 other bn plecos. ( confirmed 3m, 2f and all the rest are unsexed).
Do you think it has bloat, or is possibly pregnant?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
