Is my pleco pregnant?

Post by mattify »

Afternoon all, just had a look at my pleco and I've noticed she's put on a bit of weight around the belly area. I'm wondering if she might be expecting, has anyone else had any experience with pregnant plecos?

Just food is key. Keep its belly rounded all the time, that's what I've found works best. No letting it get flat or concave, that's not a good look for them.

She's usually got a bit of a belly, but this time it seemed way more noticeable, thanks for the advice though.

They can get pretty full when they're eating well. As long as it's not concave, you're good to go.
