It happens. They can change color for any of several reasons such as temperature changes, changes in lighting levels, as well as minor stress from other fish or water quality. It's usually nothing at all to worry about.

Your pleco could be suffering from ammonia poisoning. Plecos are 'black' but they have 'lighter stripes' and if those stripes get 'too white' they've got ammonia poisoning. You should have the pleco and the angel fish in one tank and the goldfish in a separate tank ... the goldfish are too 'aggressive' and can kill both the angel and the pleco. Also, get a 'test kit' and test your water ... you may be feeding your fish too much, which can cause the 'ammonia' to build up because they are 'going to the bathroom' more often than if they were getting less food.
