HELP ! ! ! Spotted Pictus catfish Turning Gray

[skg22086]

About a Month ago i bought 2 Pictus Cat from a LFS, he is eating fine and has almost doubled in size in about a month...

But the problem is, both of them had changed from a silver tint to a dark gray color... i've seen some about the same size at a LFS and it doesnt seem to be the same color..

Please help me with this problem...

i have a 50 gallon tank with a fluval 405.. the water parameters are fine..

i have 3 plecos, some tetras, and 3 loaches ...
i also have a variety of plants...

PLEASE HELP ! ! !

Pics? What exactly are your water parameters? Are they eating well? What do you feed them?

alot of fish change color do to thier surroundings.If they're eating good and acting normal I wouldn't be too concerned.Right now,my flowerhorn which had the most amazing colors a week ago is black.My gravel is black and my back ground is black so he's just blending in.My parameters are perfect and he eats like a pig.no worries...

well.. maybe my black subsrate for my plants is giving him that dark grey color..
i just dont lik the way he looks.. he is probably healthy cause he is eating well.. and is swimming around ...

they just look a lot better with the silver... ~_~
