I've got a new angel fish in my tank. One of the best i've seen in my local fish shops so i bought it. The only thing i'm worried about is that it has 3 black stripes running through it's body and it keeps going dull, then dark, is this normal or am i having problems. Please help as i love this fish, it's eyes are orange with a black stripe, it's beautiful.

(sorry for asking maybe a dumb question).

Just wondering. What size tnak? Water levles? Stocking? Usually my baby angels go fry stripes to no stripes depending if their scared, happy, normal, excited adn so forth.
 
It's a community tank, 120 x 70.5 x 4.5. Stats are fine, always check them before a water change. Tank mates at it's level are 5 marble hatchets, i gourami, 1 ram, which is really terratorial (maybe the answer to my question, but i've never seen it having any problems with my other angel or the one in question, although this ram lately has been having some issues with a rainbow shark???????).
 
They will do that depending on mood. Mine will be completely pale in when I turn on the lights in the morning, and darkest before lights out. They will go almost completely silver when I am changing the water. My wife calls them "mood stripes".
 
Mine change all the time too! Especially the female. Seems to be palest when she's nervous, darkest when she's happiest :rolleyes:

Thats an interesting tank size... are those dimensions inches? I would hope so, because if your saying cms, then thats crazy.... maybe you meant to put 45 instead of 4.5?
