Bristlenose plec - do they change colour? | |
wayne_rowley Fingerling Posts: 20 Kudos: 6 Votes: 0 Registered: 07-Apr-2006 | I have had a female BN for a few days. She is settling in quite well. Sometimes though, when I look at her she is light and dark brown striped with a few faint spots - at other times she is a uniform dark colour with more noticable spots. Do they change colour? Wayne |

He had a spot on his head that was yellowish colored and I thought something was wrong....but thats what they do. Sometimes it may be stress that causes them to change. |
