Why would a pleco die?

If your tank doesn’t have plants and special lights there is not enough algae to eat for pleco. If your saw betta consuming pleco’s algae wafers, pleco was probably starving (curved in stomach is a sign). Plecos are mainly nocturnal, this means they are active at night. Drop the algae wafer when the lights are off.Click to see full answer. Regarding this, can Plecos live in hard water?The common plecs are pretty good at dealing with hard water. They are invasive here in Florida and are even found in brackish water. But most plecos that are farmed in Florida would be a safer bet than wild specimens. “You probably like girls with big eyes because they look like fish.”Likewise, do Plecos float when they die? They are dead. If you touch them and they doesn’t move, they are dead. If you change water and it still doesn’t move, they are dead. Some fish like pleco types will remain on you aquarium floor when they dead. Similarly, how long does a pleco live? This fish is also available as an Albino Pleco. In the wild these fish gets up to 24 inches (60 cm) in length, though they seldom exceed 12 – 15” (30.5 – 38 cm) in the aquarium. They are fast growing, and have an average lifespan of 10 – 15 years in captivity. In the wild they can live more than 15 years.Why did my pleco jumped out of the tank?Fish sometimes jump because water quality is bad. I highly recommend testing your water. They may also jump because of bullying by other creatures. They may jump because there’s an electrical short somewhere and they’re getting mild zaps.
