What are your parameters? What Type of filter do you have? What kind of pleco is it?
I am thinking it could a bacterial bloom due to overstocking (really depends on what pleco you got and how big it is), but I could be wrong |

Regenesis sounds about right,sounds bacterial.Did you cycle the tank before placing any fish in it?How is the betta and pleco acting?What type of pleco is in with the betta?If he is a common,then the tank is too small for him.Do you have live plants?Plants will help keep the water a little more stable by absorbing some of the nitrates.THe bacterial bloom can happen if its a new tank,often referred to new tank syndrom,or by overstocking.The best way to clear it up is to add live plants and do waterchanges.
Also forgot to ask,what filter do you have on the tank?

Even if he is a small one,a common pleco is a waste machine.He could be whats wrong.Do the fish act affected in any way or is the water just cloudy?Change dechlorinator?
