Hi.

Can anybody tell me whats wrong with one of my l134?
The water is clean, gravel needs cleaning soon. I got 5 l134 going in 128 liter aquairum with 8 small juvenale Guanacara.
Temperature a bit low, 26 degrees celsius (78 degrees fahrenheit)

Its not like the colour is just off... its more like some on the fish...

Can anybody help me?

Looks more like one of his friends beat him up a little, It looks scarring from a fight with another pleco, Don't worry it heals very well just keep an eye on it.

This.
As long as tank conditions are kept up it'll heal quickly.

Thanks. I did take a closer look on it. It was from a fight. I just looked closer to the group and tried to identify their sex. It looks like 3 males and 2 females. Is that something that could more intense fights?

Depends on the footprint of your tank and the amount of caves and hiding spots. Even if you have plenty of room and caves, sometimes you need to move things around in order to help break things up.
