I don't know much about plecos, the one in my tank has white blotches all over him, I have a heater guard so its not from that, is this normal? or is he sick and I should take him out so my P doesn't get whatever he has? Here's a pic.

I guess you should have posted it in the disease forum, but what the hell...

I don't know if this is normal coloration: I know pleco's will change color, to blend into their environment (for example: black gravel results in very dark, sometimes even pitchblack pleco's). My own pleco's have different colorations as well, changing from time to time. But yours has an odd coloration.
Is he behaving and eating normal?

Sorry, I can't help you...

btw: isn't this the pleco that you have beaten up by Flipper?

I got it from a pleco expert from another site, that its just trying to blend in with the gravel, so im not worried anymore, thanks for your input though.

Thanks for being so discreet
