Cys aquatics Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) i have recently had a long-fin bristlenose pleco die and i noticed that it had a weird lines (it was almost like a Bunche of little square outlines) on its back that developed over time and I was wondering if this could have been what caused it to die?

Guppysnail Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If the squares look like these those are the “armor” plates/scales. (Best pic I could get right now) their tummy should be rounded(this is a preg female so slightly exaggerated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cys aquatics Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 i dont think that it is scales because i have two of this speicies and only the one has it. it could posibly just be a color pattern and maybe it died from other causes.

Dwayne Brown Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 What species of pleco was it and how old? Some develop natural armored "plates" as they grow. When you fed it was it eating as much as the other one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cys aquatics Posted October 18, 2021 Author Share Posted October 18, 2021 it was a long-fin bristlenose pleco, it was about about 1 year and a few months old, it wasn't eating as much as the outer now that i think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
