I have 2 3in plecos that are starting to grow. they are very healthy and active. They eat leftovers and driftwood. The other day I noticed some white stuff on one of the plecos and today its gone. Now I notice that there is some white stuff that is trappped in my filter screen. It loks like the pleco is shedding. I know plecos had no scales so does it shed its skin? I have added salt in the tank. Did I add too much or is this normal?
 
i just posted a thread like days ago because my pleco had the same white spots he looked like a dalmation i even put pic on it and the next day they fadded away but no one was able to answear my question either .....but he looks healthy and i keep the tank clean so he should be fine
 
Anything else in the tank?
 
add one tbs of salt to 5gal of water in your tank
