now the second is alot darker and smaller, i bought the two at the same time and they were the same color and size.

pic of the 2nd :

is it normal for them to change colors?

i have never really been big on plecos, but... maybe one is female?

i have NO clue.

thanks.

They are both common plecos... There is a lot of difference in coloration and patterning between individuals of this species.

thanks.


i was a little worried, because as they both got older and grew bigger, one seemed to be getting paler and paler, and the other was dark as night.

thanks again,
Chelle
