He is a pleco and he looks okay, but I don't know. I hope he doesn't have brain damage. Like when people are under water too long.

People asked how did that happen.

While cleaning out my tank . I put him in a box that was in the tub. And I didn't know it had a leak. So the the water leaked out while I was doing the water change. Then I took a nap.

Regardless of why, you have nothing to fear. A Plecostomus is one strange species of fish, it can breath through it's skin and can live outside of water for over 30 hours. They are more like a catfish and are insanely resilient and very adaptable to harsh conditions. Your pleco is gonna be just fine.

Thanks. That explains a lot. Like from time to time he comes up and put his head just out of the water.

It's a bottom feeder that eats pond scum, poop, and algae. They can get enormous though, nearly 3 feet or more, that's a lot of meat.

Yeah, apparently they store a ton of oxygen reserves in their intestines that they can use as a backup as well. I had a pleco that was about a foot and a half that for whatever reason jumped out of the tank a few times until I weighted the hood down and eventually found him a home with someone that had a huge pond. I found him on the floor one time, it could have been hours, and he was perfectly fine.

Same, and crab and lobster lol. I just don't know if a pleco is edible, but i'd imagine it would be more catfish-like in flavor.

One of my biggest tanks was a 90 gallon that had an albino oscar and a Jack Dempsey. The oscar was as big as a dinner plate, he unfortunately didn't survive the move from Philly to Atlanta, but had him for like 7 years.

Wow, surprised he's still alive
Reminds me of the time I put my turtle's rock too close to the corner of the tank and he got stuck with his head underwater for idk how long, probably an hour at least. Totally lifeless but he somehow managed to recover completely after a few days. I spent a while gently blowing air into his snout with a little tube, poor guy was totally waterlogged from what I could tell

I lost a turtle that way :( . He got stuck in the Filter. I felt so bad. I didn't know that you could do CPR to help them. I wonder if that would have helped.

So you can leave him out for another 29 hours.

When my parents bought the house I grew up in, it came with a 60 gallon tank built into one of the walls between the stairwell and the living room. They put one of these guys in there and he lived for like 12 years and was absolutely massive when he died.

had no idea they could live out of water for so long

A lot of animals are amazing, there's a species of frog that can be frozen solid for months, thaw out, and goes about it's life afterwards unharmed.

My mother had a Rope Fish and she assumed it was eaten. But it was hiding for over a year. Then he got eaten or beating up by a mating convict .
