yes try inside filter if you take out the pump and heater, the slat that holds the heater does remove<pull straight up>then remove all sponges...Then get a small net and scoop around bottom / sides to top

What ormaments do you have in your tank?

If you have caves pots or anything like that then look in them.

Hi, I got 2 x small BN's a month or so ago. These ones seemed like active suckers in the fish shop but when I got them in the tank it took a week or two before I even saw them much. Nowadays they are all over the tank all the time (an growing )
Conclusions: Yours is hiding and getting used to the environment. When it's settled in is when it's personality will show so if it's going to be visible a lot it will be, if not youre not going to see it much.

Are you sure it's a BN? How big was it when you put it in? How big's the tank?

they are great hiders, have heard stories of people removing bogwood thinking the plec wasn't there then finding a dried up pleco my 2 are right pains, but they mostly always turn up

Can you see underneath the top of things?

Mine likes to scare me by hanging upside down underneath the overhang of a sloped piece of slate she also has a den under, and wlthough certainly not flat (rather roundbellied, actually, when seen on the front glass) can be very hard to see; she fits nicely suctioned upright behind an upright rock where I can't see her unless I look from the top down - and she still blends in well and is hard to see even then; on the back wall among heavy plants, where she's invisible - and she's still in a 15 gallon which was supposed to be a temporary home...
I see her all over the tank, she's not particularly shy, but sometimes she can still be very hard to find.

I hope there's nothing that could have toppled on yours?

Glad you found him, try putting some mesh over the top of filter, that way he wont be able to jump or suck his way in.

Yeah, mine don't hide. I can always see them. And when i feed, they swim out and suction around the tank for the food.
