I have noticed a change in colour of my SP. They were quite dark, but have recently noticed that they are getting lighter and have a banding/lines of some sort. I generally associate this banding of flash colouring when fish are in distress on the end of a fish hook. No fish hooks in the system, eating regularly, etc etc. Could it be the change in water temp? Will try and resize a photo for viewing. Cheers Lucky |

Thats what all of mine looked like until I transferred them into the tank thats painted black , now theyre really dark . Both systems water parameters are pretty much the same too |

In my experience, the lighter the tank, the darker the fish. Also bigger fish tend to be darker |

Yup, they change colour over time to suit their surroundings. |
