Spots on Bushy Nose Pleco

Post by lileyfud »

Does anyone know what the light colored spots are on my Bushy Nose Pleco? It's been in my tank for three weeks and the spots were not there when I got it.

I'd suggest you post a picture? It could be a disease, or it could be the pattern change due to mood.

Like Jools said..... we need pictures! If you have light colored substrate many pleco will go light in color too, they try to blend in...... I have seen this many times but it could be a couple other things too so pictures are needed!

Hi Lileyfud,

You can read that here: http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... nd#p287418

Jump down to the paragraph that starts with, "On the other hand..." and look at "photo #4" in that post.

Cheers, Eric
