I have two juvie Ocellaris. They have been doing great for one week, eating rosies almost straight from my hand. I haven't fed them today and I just noticed that the slightly smaller one has become very dark in color where the black stripes and patches are. I mean very dark! Also, the other pb is picking on him a bit. Charging and shoving every once in a while. Does this sound familiar to anyone? MAybe I am being paranoid. But, his colors have changed a lot in only one day. I can load pics before and after if that would help. Hope to hear from you all!
Possible problem please advise!!!

I keep the water temp at 84 because they are young and eating store bought feeders. i don't want an ich problem. The temp has risen as of right now to 87.5 because it is hot as hell here! SHould I cool the tank? Everything else is good except the temp increase throughout the day. He is sooo dark right now and the other one if fine. Do you think I should lower the temp? I was thinking frozen cups. =)
