Last night I noticed my bristlenose pleco didn't look his normal shade of brown anymore. Instead he was more of an olive green with brown splotches all over. Just got home from work a little bit ago and when my lights came on he looked brown again, but after 5 min of the lights on he is splotchy olive green again! I know some species of plecos will change color as they age, but this is something different entirely. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

Id like to know as well. Mine is doing the same thing,
so is mine i have had it about 2 years now
what spaces of bristle nose did u have?
I have a standard brown bristlenose pleco. Not longfin, albino or the orange variation. See photo below.

very nice....when direct sunlight hits my bristle nose, you can see its gold/yellow color coat..

 

so this might be what you are experiencing.

That would make sense as the coloring difference does seem most noticeable when I have my lights on full blast wen they first come one.
