Angelfish Color

[Jts_Fish]

I've had 3 Angels (kept together) since Sept. 2004. All are thriving and doing well. The silver stripped one looks as if he is changing colors. He used to be all silver with the black stripes but now it looks like he has yellow coloring on the top of his head. Is this normal? Could something be wrong with him?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Not if it's a healthy fish. Adult Marble angels often have yellow on their heads.

A Little extra info - yellow and gold angels may start of with none or little as juvies but mature into their colours. eg my gold angel had a tiny patch on his forhead of gold when we got him but that colouring has enlarged to about halfway up to his dorsal fin and will get larger as his fully matures

if it's one of these they get a goldy/yellow tinge as they mature. this ones about 5 months old.

if yours is darker than this it may be velvet.
