ok have you got water stats etc....

 

[FBTgirl]

What does that mean?

 

[modaz]

temperature?
ammonia?
nitrates?
nitrite?
last water change
etc........

I know the tempeture is 79.0 and I have no idea what the other stuff is but I change his water 2 days ago.

 

[modaz]

have you got a testing kit, if not you need to get one to find these out, then we are more likely to be able to help

 

[FBTgirl]

no I don't . Just asking an opinion if he changes color like that is it bad? or could it be anything???

is that a no you havent got one or no you dont need one?

 

[FBTgirl]

I dont have one

 

[modaz]

I dont have one

ok. it could be something to do with his water conditions , so i test would be a good idea, not good for him to lose colour

 

[FBTgirl]

could it be something diet related?

 

[modaz]

he could be constipated, try boiling a pea and mash it up to feed him this will clear him out if this is the problem

 

[FBTgirl]

Ok I will try that
