Pleco turning White!

[Attenbruh]

My BN pleco turned white in the stomach this morning, all the water is fine but she has been acting strangely.
Is she ok or should I do something?
She is a common Bristlenose pleco and is 10m/o, she is in a 65L tank with some plants and hiding spots.

Even though you say the water is "fine" could you give us your tank params and show a picture?

Those have to be the best parameters ive seen in a long time ngl....
And could we see a pic of the pleco's white spot?

She also looks to have a fin that she is protecting

Its fine... She may have accidentally injured her fin than...

That's the best I could get sorry, the lighting isn't great and you can't really see very well the whiteness. If I get any more good pictures I will post them but it does look to have gotten better since I last saw.

Are you talking about the white spot near the tail?

Ok thanks for your help. I will do some more research. I think it may be stress and she may have hurt her fin when pulling off one of her get-always.

she may have did something ~wild~ and hit herself on the front side and also her fin that she is guarding

she looks a bit overfed to me

It is bloated, probably too much protein in its diet. Try to only feed it raw / blanches vegs for a while.
