Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

im not entirely sure platy babies could eat the color off a plecostimus, could you possibly get a picture of this? its most likely a scrape or an infection of some kind.

I couldn't get your pics up

Plattys and guppies are herbavors and probubly wouldn't be too interested in a pleco as food. If he just has white spots on him, it could be ick (first thing that comes to mind) or a number of other diseases. I would quarintine him and add a multi-purpose treatment and see if that helps any.

You might want to try photobucket for pictures. I have tried several people's snapfish photos and you can't access them unless you have an account with them.

Do you know what type of pleco he is? My BN has some yellowish patches on him before that I hadn't noticed, but it turns out it was just his coloration.

If it is acting normal, I wouldn't worry.

Try to put your pictures here so we can see them.

Thanks for the tip Girlie.
The white is getting better know and hasn't gotten worse, i think, and i've been treating with pima and mala fix.
Thanks for the concern.

The platys might just be picking off necrotic tissue caused by a fungal infection. They actually may have done him a service.
