Hello all, My pleco aka sucker fish seems to have a problem when it swims it swims with it's tail elevated as if there is air inside him, when he is feeding on the rocks the same thing happens, it always swims in a vertical postion the other pleco i have in the tank seems to be perfectly fine, swims at a normal horizontal postion, Is he sick? what can i do to help him?...thanks

Welcome to AC! :)

Seems just like normal pleco behavior. All the plecos I've seen do that. I guess it depends on how much water movement is in the tank to know how much they will do it. He is fine. Don't worry.
