its gasping at the surface. my pleco is fine though.

Well the only two things I could think of is low oxygen or high ammonia levels. and if it's not low oxygen then try testing for high ammonia levels. but then again you did just do a 50% water change. How log has he been doing this?

Sorry to hear that. your Pleco should be fine as long as your ammonia levels and stuff are in check.

Sorry to hear about that! 

Just wondering if you dechlorinated the water? And did you try to temperature match it?

If I need to do a large water change I do it over a few days, about 20/30% daily and not in one 50% change as I think one large water change can put a fish into shock and they can die.

i did it over 4 days. i dechlorinated the water and had everything almost as it normally is. im not sure what caused this.
