i think he is sick. i examined him and it seems he has some whitish faded spots around his head, between his eyes and some other spot any idea what it could be. he was in a 20gl for a few years. i have him in a 10gl atm since i wanna quarantine him b4 doing anything with him. but then again he is small enough that he has enough room to swim i may just keep him in there


this is the best pic i have i broke my cameras screen so all of my pics are poor you can kinda see it between g=his eyes and towards the middle of his body

Wher edi u get him from.. He could have developed those due to poor water conditions..
 
I believe that most common plecos do that. My big common does the same thing, gets light spots every now and then. He's always been fine. Here's a picture from Google,

i got him from a friend i guess her mom used some chemical to clean the tank and hes the sole survivor
 
All down to stress. It will calm down. In the past when we've had them they always used to come out during water changes.

 
one more question can i put him with a albino bn pleco without any problems i was just going to put him in my moms tank but im kinda got attached to him (its only been two days haha) the are both the same size and its a 55 gl
