Red Lips

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

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.
