Help Gold Nugget Pleco Hardly Moves When I Touch Him

[johnnytuthumbs]

I recently purchased a gold nugget pleco because my old regular pleco died. I was hesitant to get the gn pleco because he is only about 2inches long 2 1/2 at the most and all of my fish in my tank are huge. None of the other fish have messed with him but he has hardly moved in the last 3 days. Inudged him with my finger to see Iif he was okay and he hardly moved. He even flip upside down and wouldnt flip back over . Hes still breathing but like I said when i nudge him he hardly moves. I put algae wafers right in front of him and he doesnt even touch them. Is he going to live ? How can I help him? All of the other fish in my tank are healthy

It would be helpful if you shared with us your:
-Tank size
-Water parameters (Ammonia, nitrate, nitrite and pH)
-Tank inhabitants 
This could just help figure out what could be wrong with the little guy.

If you could also provide the temp of your tank, your filtering system (plus any info about powerheads or air stones), and your water change schedule, that would also help us out.

On top of all that, it would be best to move him to his own tank to watch him, keep his water clean, and make sure he get food.
