Help! Strange Color Loss

[juliethegr8t]

Tonight I bought a pair of guppies, and when I got them home I noticed something strange about the female. She seems to have no color at all on the left side of her face, and down into her body. She's fine on the other side. It looks sort of like the pics I've seen of NTD, but I'm praying that isn't it. Anyone have any ideas on if this will cause problems, is a sign of disease, or I'm worrying for no reason? I have her in a quar tank right now, just in case. She's so beautiful too.. I wanna keep her.

Thanks for any suggestions.

It could be just changing color to blend with ur gravel,

No gravel in the quar tank. And she was like that in the bag when I got her home...

juliethegr8t - it could be the transport and adjustment to new home. Does your LFS have a guarantee? If it is 24 hours or less you would be safer to just return her and pick another, sorry for that bad news if it is.

If they are like my two local LFS with 7 to 14 day guarantees then I would recommend giving her a few days and see if she starts to color back up.
