  • BN pleco trying to jump out

    I have a bristle nose pleco male which is coming to the top and trying to jump out of water.
    Today morning I did a 30% water change and messed up the cave. there were babies (pretty small) in there which i didn't notice . And few of the babies came out of the cave. From then the dad is doing this


    I don't know whether he got angry and is trying to do this. managed to take a pic. But not clear.
    Any clue? Rest of the fishes are fine.

              To each his own. IME, removing the cave and take out the fry as soon as they are free swimming is how I can save the fry. If I leave the cave alone, the fry will disappear.

                Sounds like it was an accident. I think your pleco got stressed because of the disturbance and just needed time to calm down.

                      Glad to hear he's doing better now. I have never had one do that.

                            I wonder if this is an attempt to swim upstream. You did a water change and then he exhibited this behavior. Springtime arrives and the cool mountain waters come down and the plecos go upstream to spawn. This applies to other fish. This could be a normal activity but of course he can't go upstream in an aquarium.
