i have a 150 gallon tank with a large sailfin plec which is about 18" long and today he has started to turn a light brown in places, is this normal ? please let me know.
many thanks
 
Hi Kris,

Im definately no expert on Plecs however my Bristlenoses turn a patchy light colour when they seem a bit stressed or when they are bothered by something, sometimes they even go that colour when they are trying to compete for the cucumber I put in the tank :)

Hope that helps,

Craig
 
it happens, in fact i can't believe its got to that size and you haven't noticed it before.

i have only just bought the tank 2nd hand, it was one of the big fish that came with the tank, thanks for the help :hyper:
 
Hi mine did this when tank was upgraded and he moved home i gave him couple of extra dark hours and some treats ( algae wafers and bloodworms)

he is patch free and very happy took about week to clear up and the tank move probably did it!
