I just bought a common pleco about 6 hours ago and it was dead about three hours after I put it in the aquarium. He seemed healthy, about 3-4 inches. I did everything like I was supposed to. It was doing just fine last I check--then he was just dead. Any tips or pointers??

We need more to go on, like your water parameters, etc., and, possibly, for this one, those of the store.

I added a freshwater biozyme earlier in the day with my water change. I've had my water tested before from my other tank and it was fine, so I don't see why this tank should be any different. I did buy him from Petco, so maybe that is the problem. Guess I'll take him back and see what they have to say and get my H2O tested again. Thanks.
