**Drumachine09** · 01-12-2007, 01:38 AM

I was just feeding my fish and noticed that may rainbowshark, normally black, has turned a sickly pale grey. Does anyone have any experiacne with rainbow sharks or have any idea what this might be?

Thanks

Oh yea and another question. When you can change your user title, on me, would that change datnoid, or senior member? i didnt think it was worth putting out another thread, do i'll just piggy back them

When you click on Change User Title, it would change the Senior Member. I don't know as that option is open to you, however. You can add color to Senior Member, however.

The shark may be a little stressed out. Many fish tend to get paler when stressed.

As hobbs said, they only thing i can think of would be stress. How is your water? Tank mates?

That is most likely the case due to water parameters, tank mates, etc..

o.k. that's what needs to be worked on.

He is still a little pale. The parameters are perfect. The tank is clean, and his only tank mates are two cories, 3 juvenile guppies, and 3 adult guppies, his color is coming back slowly
