I have 4 Baby Peacock Bass and 2 Bala Sharks in a 55gal Aquarium. Tank hasnt finished cycling yet water temp is currently at 81 Degrees, Ph is about 7.5 (with API master test kit), Nitrite is about .25ppm - .50ppm, Nitrate is 0ppm, Ive been chasing the ammonia levels for the past 3 days its about 2ppm been doing daily 25% water changes and using Seachem Prime to treat. I have a marineland 350 filter and an Aquaclear 110 filter. 3 bubblers with lots of air flow and seems like plenty of water current in the tank. I've been feeding Blood Worms, Tubiflex Worms, and today some very small feeder fish. Today when i came home one of the peacock bass had a very light color to it. Seems to be loosing all of its color. The fish were normally hanging around middle part of the tank but today there all hanging out on the bottom more. There not gasping for air and are still active. Just trying to cautious before something bad happens.
1.The first picture is a little blurry the fish on top is the lighter colored one maybe sick.
2. Second picture bottom middle the lighter colored bass.
3. The Third picture is the best fish on left is lighter colored the fish on right is not.
4. The fourth picture is the normal bass.
5. The Fifth is the lighter colored bass.
Do you think there is a problem? If so what should i do? Or is this normal? I only noticed the lightened color change today seemed like it happened pretty fast and only after i fed them the live small feeder fish and it only happened to one fish. The other fish have great color and seem fine.
