Just noticed this under my pearl... Please somebody tell me is this normal? The belly is like purple blue... Idk if it was always like that or it just happened! He's around 5-6 in still a pup... And he started to just climb up the glass and I just noticed that his belly is purplish blue... Is there something wrong? Internal parasites? Thanks

not like one more person saying its normal would help but hey, it wouldnt hurt:
Ya, I'm pretty sure thats normal.
( Did that help at all? )
( If so, anytime bud! :)
 
A pink belly is normal to a point. The lighter pink the better. If you are worried, test water. Make sure the ammonia levels are good. Rays can get ammonia burns and one sign of it is a darker belly.
Id test the water, make sure it is ok. Maybe even do a 30% water change. You should be fine with that.. Just watch it and make sure it doesnt get worse. Like all have said, a pink belly is normal, but still something to watch. Ammonia poision can kill slowly over time, or very fast.. So its something to keep an eye on and make sure you do your weekly water changes.
one question, what kind of substrate are you using in the tank?
 
Thanks guys!!!!! I was sh**ting bricks the whole night!!!! If everybody says it's normal! Then I guess it's normal! Here's a pic of him...
