I have had my plecostomus for about 3 months. Just recently in the last week he has been losing his dark brown color. He is turning a light tan color. The first time this happened it was only for a day or so and his dark brown came back. Does anybody know why this is happening? Is he not getting enough algae? All of the water parameters are perfect.
