Bn Pleco Almost Dead

[andyw823]

Just got home and noticed one of my BN plecs resting on its side on some bogwood. Took a closer look and it looks like its fitting/having spasums. I turned it over and its eyes look to have sunk back into its head. Also it looks to have white dusting on the edge of its fins. I feel so helpless for the poor thing

Sorry the fish isn't going to make it, they fit before they die, remove him from the tank at once, you say he has a dusting of white on his fin, does it look fluffy as it could be bacterial or parasite, sorry.

It seemed to get better last night, it was moving round normally although its eyes were still sunk into its head. But today ive found it dead But the strange thing is it had turned white! Its not fluffy tho. Anyone any idea what it has died of?

Turning white is normal if he has been dead in the tank for a while.
Well sunken eyes can be related to dropsy, sorry he didn't sound good at all bless him.
R.I.P.
