Caryl Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Do you have a pic? What colour was he before? Sometimes fish will change colour and darken due to stress. They may also change colour slightly in response to their surroundings (camouflage). You don't have a multicoloured castle in there with him do you? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Those are the colours that the dominant male takes on - so perfectly normal. Females are usually pale tan with a darker brown stripe running from nose to tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
