Krazy Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Hey guys, This may sound like a stupid question BUT.... I was feeding my fish this evening and noticed that both the gourami and the mail sword have a blackish tinge on them, is this something I should be concerned about? All the other fish are fine and this mysterious tinge does not seem to be affected them at all. They still swim around like crazy and eat and dominate the tank. All comments appreciated.

Caryl Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Blackish tinge where? All over? Underside? Fish will change colour according to mood or stress and darken sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caper Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 One of my fantail goldfish...ocassionaly gets a spot of black on one of his fins...it is not very big...and just when I think maybe he's going to change color...it goes away...this has happened a couple of times...and he's just fine! So, I don't know about gouramies...but just thought I'd mention I've also experienced this and the fishy is just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 One of my gold 3 spot gouramies has done that and it seems perfectly happy. First its fins darkened then its body went darker, almost like black stripes on it. The other one has stayed the same colour. I presume its age because its behavour hasn't changed and its been this way for a couple of months now Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 If it doesn't seem to be affecting them in any way I would not worry about it, but keep an eye on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
