My pleco is not moving all day. Is it sleeping or is it okay?

Question

Hello, good afternoon! I was curious on how to know when a pleco is asleep? I have a baby albino pleco, and he has been in the same spot about all day. I believe he is okay, he is not laying on the bottom, his mouth is stuck to the bottom of a decoration. I just thought I would ask to make sure he is alright! Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

Good afternoon! It is not easy to tell if they are sleeping because they don't close their eyes. What I can tell you is that they are nocturnal so they spend a good portion of the day hiding/sleeping and will be more active at night. Once they adapt well to their environment some plecos will start moving around more during the day.
