So After many trial and errors, I finally got my hands on a good (cheap) pleco. It is a high fin pleco, ones you can find in petsmart. Simple yet satisfying. I've had him since he was less than 3 inches long. Now hes about 8. roughly 6 months. But there seems to be a little problem with him im starting to notice. As he grew his colors changed to a lighter shade. But now I see that hes starting to have more problems. 1 is that his color is starting to fade in certain areas of his body. like a big patch of his left side is a lot lighter shade than the rest of his body. 2 is that he does not eat drift wood. I have yet to see him even suck on it. I started him on just algae growing on the walls and let him scavenge for flakes when he was younger. then to algae wafers. Well now he doesnt even touch the algae wafers. He only goes for the pellets that are meant for the rest of the stock. Any ideas why he has these problems? I feel like i wasted alot of money on drift wood because he doesnt touch it...
