Baby pbass lost color

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I know my PBass can change color dramatically depending on their mood. Is he still active and eating well? Swims normally? Fecal matter is normal and not white or stringy? If you answered yes to all of the questions I wouldn't worry. It's just a mood thing.
 
Only had them for 2 days. I cant find guppys small enough for them to eat. I have some rosy reds but only 2 of the pbass ate them cause they were the biggest. Trying to find some small feeders.
 
Fish change colors. Sometimes my LMB is like that in the morning, gets his color back later.
 
Baby Pbass are delicate little creatures and really shouldn't go for more than a day or so with no food. You HAVE to find something for it to eat. Try small fishing worms, crickets, anything that hits the water and moves. If he goes more than 36 hours without eating you may very well lose him. I'd even buy some .99 fish such as White Clouds, Zebra Danios or Neons if needed to make sure it's eating!!
 
Live black worms for sure. As for coloration, do you have fluctuating temperature?

Well, they ate a zebra Danio, neon tetras and guppys today. All is fine, temp is at 85 and color is back so all looks well. Thanks for everyones input.
