I started my system about 8 weeks ago. Two weeks ago I added tilapia fry and they have been doing fabulous. This morning I noticed one of the fry is considerably darker than all the others. The other fish look sort of gray while this one is dark brown in color. I found it odd I hadn't noticed this before so I'm thinking the color has changed on it for some reason. Does anyone know if this is a problem? It doesn't seem to be swimming in an odd fashion and it did eat with all the other fry this morning. I took some water tests and came up with these results: Temperature - 76 degrees F Ph - 8.4 Ammonia - 0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Nitrate - 0 ppm |

I had gotten some Rocky Mountain Whites, and due to mixing and breeding ended up with some blue ones and some darker than that too. (same initial batch that were supposed to be all white, not mixed batches) There is a wide range of tilapia colors, I wouldn't worry. HTH! |
