I posted the other day in emergencies about my male honey pineconing. I then euthanized him to be more humane.
Anyhow... at first I thought my one remaining female honey was just enjoying having no territory to navigate and was swimming everywhere all the time. Now, after two days of that I am thinking maybe she is stressed being the only fish in the tank.
The water stats are fine, she is in a 20 gallon with plenty of plants and hiding places, and I have turned out the lights.
I have noticed her stripe is a slightly different color than usual... normally it is nearly invisible, then when she is "in the mood" it is dark brown... but at the moment it is sort of a ... orangey color. She is not ill, nor faded, just that stripe is different... also making me wonder if honeys get stress stripes.
I attempted to get another honey to join her today but they were not in stock. I refuse to go to Pets at Home... so will call another Maidenhead tomorrow I think.
