harrison.c Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 About 6 months ago i got a sailfin pleco of kev and it has grown about 15cm since then. a couple of weeks ago i noticed that he was getting a red tint on the top of his tail fin. i didnt pay much attention but now all of his fins are Orange and his body is starting to turn as well. Is this normal? Should i be concerned? Regards harrison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tristan Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 He is slowly turning in to a cactus pleco... Congratulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TED Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 gibbys dont turn into cactus plecos. cactus plecos are a different species. its most likely just starting to settle in and its starting to colour up properly, or maybe its just the food, maybe the light substate is showing off its colours better or a combination of all of these.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk If only either way the orange does look pretty cool tho looks like he is on a bare bottom tank... Is there a coloured background or any out of the ordinary lighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrison.c Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The tank is 4x2x2 with white sand on the bottom. The light broke about 3 months ago and only got a new one three days ago haha and there is no background yet [MENTION=12090]Tristan[/MENTION] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
