i have just found my adult female plec lieing on her back barely alive, so i issolated her, but in the only thing i had, a beanie box (i know its not the best thing to use) , she looks abit on the think side, is ther anythink i can do for her? i have had her 8 years and she has been very healthy up until now she is sitting normally now i have moved her, but i do not want to loose her she is such a good plecy, what can i do for her?
thanks

Sorry she not good and I doubt she will make it.
Losing weight could be old age, not sure how long plecs can live.

i was told the other week that 10 years is about average for a plec this size
thanks wilder

Sorry.
Should be proud that you have managed to keep a fish so long.
