Another stupid question!

Thanks guy's that's made me feel a lot better! They are still crapping all over the place so I imagine there doing fine ha! Just wondering is there a reason why they seem to be becoming a lot lighter in colour? They were really brown when I bought them and now they are becoming a really light brown!

Cheers

Probally just adjusting to the substrate they are in . This is called counter-shading if I 'am right.

Hi there... my pleco's like cucumber (zucchini), also chicken chunks (cooked) they seen to prefer it if its off my dinner plate with some sort of seasoning!!
They don't seen over keen on peas tho. I can say with absolute confidence mine like freshly hatched blue lobsters... I lost half of my first brood before I could get them out of the tank they went into turbo vacuum mode... and boy did they seem happy. Also I recently changed my substrate from pebbles to light sand and pebbles, my pleco's seem to be adapting to the new colors by changing theres.
