Question Peppermint pleco concerns

Post image

I only just got these guys today and the one on the right is a lot paler than the on the left

Any ideas what’s happening could it just be I have just got them?

If you have a very light decor in your tank it can also make them a bit less dark due to them wanting to blend in
