My Albino Pterygoplichthys pardalis (that was hard to type) and my two other Pleco's (Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and Pterygoplichthys joselimaianus) have been acting weird, but mostly the Albino one.
I upgraded my tank, slowly adding branches, hiding shopts and rocks. I also got a new air pump, my other bubbler blew up (it was this round thing you put under your gravel and it makes current and some bubbles blew up when I took it out of the water) so I got a Whisper air pump with a wall of air stones taking up half of my aquarium and I added two smaller airstones on the other side of the aquarium.
Since I did this, my Albino has been WILD, I barely ever saw him, now he's all over the place, espacially behing/in the wall air stones and he's been swimming around a lot. My two other Pleco's have been coming otu too, but not as much as that one. Usually he's VERY nocturnal, but now, in daylight and with the lamps on he's all over the place! The other fish don't bother him, he's got enough food (Salad, Spinach, Zuccini, Cucumber, Cooked skinless peas, Apples, Grapes, Algae waffers, Blood worms and brime-shrimp).
The water parameters are very good, stable PH of 7.4, 0 Ammonia, 0 Nitrites...
Is this normal "happy Pleco" behaviour or am I just paranoid?
Anyways, it was a great occasion to snap some pics of the Pleco's!
