All Loricariidae originate from South America (with a small number extending into Central America, since the fish don't actually care much about lines drawn on pieces of paper that we call geographic regions - if they can get there, they will, no matter what the lines on the paper says...) - so there's no such thing as an Asian Pleco - unless we're talking about a "Hong Kong pleco" - which isn't a pleco at all...

So, for advice on your pleco, unless it's a "Hong Kong" pleco, we'd need a photo to identify it.
