My mom recently added two pleckos (is that spelled right?) to our tank. After she did that, all seven of my goldfish have been basically lounging with their stomachs touching the body (well, exept for the one with air bladder diesease). What do you think is wrong?

When introducing the plecos you could have addded a parasite unintentionaly. Seeing as how you have goldfish I would do a major water change (over 50%), look for little (I mean little) worms. I knwo there are products that you can buy at your lfs that are spose to get rid of parasites, lickily ths has never happened to me when adding a pleco with my goldfish.

Also what size tank do you have 2 plecos might be to many depending on what variety you have. Common plecos get well over a foot long and I know one person who has a good 18.5" pleco. Hope this helps
