His usual "pantherlike-spots" had allmost completely diappeared.
This fish was black as night and my wife mistaked it to be a pseuda!
When I went to get my new gar,which was in the same tank, the guys at the LFS had to chase my new fish a bit,and then I noticed the gibbi.
He suddenly had a lightgrey banded pattern over his body and his head turned into different shades of grey!!!(Kinda like the pattern you find on hypostomus sp.)
I WAS AMAZED about his enormous change in appearance and at the fishes ability to adapt to his suroundings.
Do yours change colour?
yes he does, but the back portion always stays black like in the pic
