I have a pleco that's about 7 years old in my 15G tank. I have seen him do the same thing on many occasions. Like he is in a trance like state, doing that gulping thing that plecos do. hehe The pleco only does this on occasion and still looks healthy to me. Is he eating well? If so, I don't think you have much to worry about!

Well, sadly I went downstairs this morning to find him dead. So I suppose that answers that. Thanks anyways however.
One more question; how would you dispose of a fish that big? He's too big for the toilet, and to throw him into the garbage seems mean. I was thinking of going down to the river and releasing him. Or would that be a bad idea; ie envirnmentally?

I guess what I was looking for was more of an explanation or reason. Myself; I can't see how a dead fish in the river would do any harm; as the river's ecosystem is designed to break down dead fish. To me it would be like doing a burial at sea.
I think cremation is out; I'm not about to go spend $80 to have him cremated.

Just place him in the garbage bin.
Sure it might seem "mean" as you say, but it'll be over before you know it. Unless this fish has extreme sentimental value to you, it's probably not worth going through all the trouble of digging a site and burying him. Besides, your other option was to flush him down the toilet anyways. Just that he didn't fit, right?
