Help me out with this please..flowerhorn face turned black.

[..puSkar..]

My flowerhorn was alright when I got him . He was fine for 2 weeks nd his face turned black 4 days ago I see that his face turned black from one side.
He's active and eats normally but why has his face turned black. ?
Tank size: 36*18*18
Heater: 150w at 28°C
Water changes: 25-30% on Wednesday and Sunday.

he is completely fine from one side .

Well that’s odd. If his behavior is normal I wouldn’t worry just yet. It could be that he has the fader gene and he’s beginning to go through the fading process.

That looks pretty cool,he might fader genes which would cause this.

If this is just a gene expression I'm fine with it. I'll have something different ?. If it doesn't hamper his life I'm okay with it.

They don't stay the same colour for long while fading ? ,might as well take some more pics while he looks like two face lol.

I'll name him "" Janus "" , the two faced Greek god. I'll take a good pic of his two face , get it framed and hang it above his tank ?

Typically when a fish does this, it's because he sustained some sort of brain injury/head trauma, and has some neurological damage. If you search through the other forums, you'll find other species of fish this has occurred to and see if any have recovered from this malady.

Please keep updating us on him and how he behaves.Hope brain damage isn't the case.

I haven't heard or seen of this before but its more likely this as I haven't seen a fish fade just like this before. Like I said it looks odd.
