    hey dude, it's been 6 min since your post, no need to bring it back up so quickly

    i'm not into plecos, but the general idea for fish that have hollow stomachs are either due to internal parasites or starvation
    hopefully akoh or those into plecos will have a better idea

    moving this thread to medical

    Hey Andy, this is not a chat room. Sometimes you don't get a response immediately.

    Giving more detail of your fish and tank will help us understand your situation better.

    What pleco is it?
    How old is your tank?
    What is the symptoms? Is it still swimming?
    Your tank NO2, NH3 level etc.

    Andy ! sorry ! ! ! I was away on a dive trip !. Alway check Pleco's tummy condition b4 making the purchase !, sunken stomach is due to Starvation and Internal Parasites, usually " fresh wild caught pleco " !. Hence alway check and Quarantine newly purchase pleco, Sorry for your loss !

    Safe Diving !
