Is it normal for mono Pbass to get lazy or very not active at all for 2 days but water is great and no stress from other fish? Is there something iam not doing or anything to help during this period? He's about 4.5'' or so, he was full of movement and very aggressive when it comes to eating and interacting with viewers of the tank
Pbass changing color but also just setting on the bottom.HELP

Odd behavior, mine will never stop unless they are sleeping(which is when they really change color). Dumb question but I gotta ask, they aren't sleeping right?
not that i can tell.. He is swimming and moving around a lil on the bottom but his color has changed 10 fold but not green top 1\2 went dark gray and yellow trim around all his black and hasn't eatin that i can tell. All the other tankmates are doing just as normal. If you look at my album you can see how bright silver he was dont have new pic yet
X2. It sounds like what other fish I have heard about when water goes bad sometimes. Just because you change water doesn't always mean its good. You should check your sink water sometimes.
I came home from work this morning and he is swimming and moving around, his color is much diff then it was. The tank mates are12'' spotted florida gar, 8''tsn,4-5''rtc, 10'' pim cat,17''reg pleco,7''choc albino pleco and a 10'' fancy tail gold fish that made it through the feeding of my pacu. They all live in a 125 growout tank moving to a 600 diy by chrismas. Water is very important but i have never lost a fish due to water, i grew up in a fishtank persay my mom was a very well know vet of all kinds. filtration is Rena xp3 and 2 Hydor powerheads 1400,750gph. Just as i write this the pbass is chasing the gar around the tank i think they are buddies lol. i really apprecate the help guys. The temp is right now is 77.7 digital, and i am feeding comets feeders, convict baby feeders and 2 dozen red worms a week
Sounds good i'll try that and will see what happens. What would be good to try, food wise? Come to think about it the temp where i live did change cooler this past week and the temp was around 81 most of the time, this just might be it. Thanks alot for the tip, it all makes sence now
i would also recommend adding a couple of airstones into the tank my fish are much more active when they have plenty of air in the water column
