	Pleco acting normal?
sickonblues Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 2 Votes: 0 Registered: 05-Mar-2005	I have a pleco that lives his entire life on an decorative log in my tank. During the day he stays at one spot on the log and during the evening he moves around on the log. It isn't really that big either.. maybe 9 inches long. When he sees me move around he'll zip back real fast to that same spot he spends the day at. Is there something wrong with him? He's just so shy. I have never had a pleco act like this before and he has been now for almost a month (since I got him). How do I know he's getting enough food too?
