I hadn't seen my albino Pleco for over a month. I suspected he died and the other Plecos ate the corpse.
Today I found him when I went to clean my large sponge filter. He was stuck in the base of the filter which I noticed when I removed the sponge from the base.
The sponge has been loose at the base for a long time now. When it would detach, I would reattach it. Evidentally, when the sponge was separated from the base, he swam into the base and couldn't back himself out. I pulled him out and he swam away quickly.
He had been in that sponge filter base for over a month.
Yet he surviived and is swimming about, though he is skinnier and a bit pale.Hopefully he learned a lesson and won't do that again.
