pleco behavior

[tks4d2]

I got my first common pleco yesterday and it has probably moved two inches during the day. Are they active at all during the day or is mine just really shy.

It should get more active once it's comfortable with the tank, and activity of the other fish in with it.

My 2 plecos are almost entirely nocturnal.

Plecos usually are more active at night, but I would imagine stress from the move has alot to do with it too.

My pleco is definatly most active at night, but he moves around during the day as well

The pleco in my t90G moves a lot more now that there are lots of plants. I think he thinks he has more hiding places.

give it some time and be ready for a monster tank to keep him in once he grows a little.
