shadowfax Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 i have noticed my siamese fighter has suddenly lost some colour on his body & his head, but one side of his head has gone a really dark colour, other than this he is still happy & swims around like normal, just looks like all his colour has drain out of his body & gone into his head! any ideas on what this is??

Ktttk Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 as long as he is still eating and acting normal, I wouldn't worry too much. It'd be nice if you could post a before and after pic of him As for the loss in colour - your fighter might have what is called the "marble" gene. I think it is a "jumping gene" that can move around to different parts of the chromosome - changing the genetics of the fighter which I guess is expressed in their skin pigment. Heres a useful link to an article for more details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
