Midas tip of tail turning black

I noticed that the tip of my midas tail is turning black. Is this normal.

when young a lot of midas have black it usually clears up or expands as they age...

This is a very common occerance with Amphilophus sp. Midas, RDs ect. Overnight they'll devlope a patch of black and it will often dissapear as quickly as showed up. Occasionally it'll hang around for a while or stay that way. Bottom line is they commonly go through many color changes on their way to adulthood.

My Midas just last week or so developed a black bottom lip... then one side of the black lip disappeared, then a few days later it was back to normal. A few months ago he had some black on the tips of his fins, which looked really cool, but it didn't last long. I'm sure I will see some more of this as will you. Very normal for these guys.
