I got a 'common pleco' as a hitch hiker and after some time in a 40 breeder, I moved him into my 1,300g pond. He has been in there for maybe 2mo and has gotten very large, from 2.5in to at least 5-6in. But I noticed something odd about him, back in the tank and now in the pond, he has red trimmed fins. It's very pretty, but I have no idea what species he is now because of this. He is not ill, no tears or anything like that, just his normal coloring.
And yes, he will be brought inside for the winter, no worries about that.
Here are pics of him when he was small. Last pic shows where the red is now. It's kind of hard to tell, but the spots are red, but blend into the fins, mainly sticking to the edges.
