I'd give it a racial bonus to its DCs. +4 seems too high, so I'll go for +2 - the swarm version will have a better DC with its disease, due to having more HD.How's this for a start:Fish, Subterranean, Iridescent PlecosTiny Animal (Aquatic)Hit Dice: 1d8 (4 hp)Initiative: +1Speed: Swim 30 ft.

It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.</blockquote>
