A few weeks back I bought a really cool looking black Adonis Pleco with white polka dots.  It’s a really cool looking Pleco and I was really hoping that it would survive and grow in my tank as it’s white dots were really pronounced.

Unfortunately, today I found it dead in the tank.  It hasn’t been behaving the same in the last few days for some reason, perhaps as a result of the water changes and the medication I’ve been putting in to get rid of the Ich I have in the tank?  Normally it would hide inside the large bell decoration I have and I would hardly see it, but in the last few days it was out and about hanging around the top part of the aquarium which I thought was really strange.

I kept an eye on it to see if perhaps it had Ich on it, but it didn’t.  I wasn’t really sure what was stressing it out so much, but it wasn’t behaving right in the last few days and today it died.  I’m very sad to see this little guy go, because he seemed like such a cool fish and I would have loved to see him grow to a full size in the tank.  I’m not sure if the store still had any of these left, but if they do I’ll pick up another one once my Ich is gone and my cycling is complete.
