Hi, I have recently started getting a white patch on my plecos head, am setting up a hospital tank (wish me luck in catching the #29###!) with a view to moving - I have 2 plecos in my 240 Litre set up (I know i know i shouldnt, one was a rescue though from a friend who had done very little research) both are around 14-16months old + however old they were at the shop - I suspect fairly juvenile. The one with the mark is the slightly more territorial of the two, for the most part they will ignore each other, although occassionally one will chase the other but give up pretty quickly as there's quite a lot of hiding spots and tall grass etc. Don't think it's a stocking issue...
Have 3 Honey Gouramis, 18 Zebra Danios, 5 YoYo Loach, and 2 Plecos.
Water perams are absolutely fine using a liquid test kit. Does anyone think it maybe a mark from fighting?! The fish itself doesnt seem to be in anyway bothered by it but am a little dubious that it could get worse.. Anyway I attach a picture.
