nabokovfan87 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Looks like some sort of internal damage. Typically this can happen when a pleco is scared when the lights come on suddenly or when they are spooked and they dart across the tank. They might have ran into something and suffered an injury in that capacity. What meds do you have on hand? Do you have a QT tank to place the fish in?
