Once i bought a pleco from petsmart and it died because it had ick. then it gave ich to my yellow bullhead. then i cured it. but it was a painful win. so lesson learned, dont buy plecos from petsmart.
your fish looks like a pleco. are you giving it wood to eat? plecos need wood.

If you are only going to be gone less than one week do not worry about feeding.
Far more fish are lost when others take care of your fish when you are gone.
