Hi, my plec has little red blotches on his/her lips.

Is this normal?

Its my first plec and my favourite fish so I dont want it to be poorly.

Thanks

Chris

can you get a pic for us?

could it be ammonia burns? have you tested recently for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate?

Ive never heard of that happening to a pleco. Are you sure it wasn't like that when you bought him? What kind of Pleco? Picture would help. Good Luck!

Water readings are spot on. No problem there.

Its hard to get a pic at the mo, as it just sticks to the filter all the time.

Ill try tho.

is it an albino pleco? and if you search the net for images can you find anything similar
