He is about 4-5 inches. I have been watching him closely for the past few days and he seems heathly.

I'm not sure why the normally light spots (dots) on the very tips of the fins on my commmon pl*co are turning red. The spots were just the normal light colored spots that you see on them, but in the last 2-3 weeks they seem to be turning a red color. They are not a open sore or anything like that ...

What's the trick to get him to eat? I've tried zuccini and peas, which he ignored. He won't even eat a algae disk. I getting kinda worried about him, although at night after the lights are out he will swim all over the tank rasping on his driftwood and the sides of the tank. Any help would be great ...

Trying to figure out what species of pl*co. Has 12 spines on the dorsal fin, and a kinda lighter striped pattern under the brown spots (see pic.)
