Mister bubbles is looking kind of pale. I understand he’s albino but he looks more pale than usual. Is he stressed ? I just did a 20% water change.

(I’m buying him new driftwood and algae wafers this week)

STATS
Temp: 78
Food: algae from tank & tropical fish food
Male

Using water conditioner, & prime (for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite)

No current nitrate nitrite or ammonia levels to give sorry!

My main question is does he look healthy? IMG_1276.jpg IMG_1287.jpgIMG_1273.jpgIMG_1277.jpg
 
Hello, he doesn't look to bad to me. Bn plecos cannot live on algae alone they are omnivores so you may want to drop some sinking shrimp pellets or frozen blood worms.
I will also throw in a piece of raw cucumber once in a while as treat. If he doesn't recognized vegetables as food stick pellets or wafers in it he'll catch on. Here pic of baby's all over cucumber. Hope this helps!20190304_123624.jpg
