Aaron-Betta Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Do bristlenoses change to a patchy colouration when stresses or ill? Just wondering as I saw that one of our males is all blotchy. Could it be that he feels threatened by the other male in the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Possibly. Many plecos change colour seeming at random. Sometimes it's stress related, sometimes they may try and camoflage themselves, other times, I have no idea. Just keep an eye on him, make sure he's not sick or getting beaten up, but he's probably OK. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon1990 Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 My pair of BN used to go patchy when they were eating or chasing each other round now they are patchy all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 11, 2007 Report Share Posted August 11, 2007 Sometimes one or more of mine is patchy and other times not :roll: Doesn't seem to be related to anything as far as I can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
