royal pleco tail colorless

[JONP]

Hey guys,

I got home this evening and noticed that my Royal's tail is white...does anyone know what that could be? He is active...

I did do a 50% water change on Sat. and traded all my large Africans, introduced about 24 fry and added one green phantom pleco. Not sure if any of that would make a difference but possibly.

PH is 7.6 and temp is about 80...

Thanks,

I don't have an answer but I had a pleco turning white not just on the tail and it didn't live for long. Never found out what caused it. Water parameters were fine and none of the fish had any problems.

That great. Sometimes it's better not to ask why.
