Past 1 week, it has lost its red color and has been gaining more pearls. Which i was told by a few members here that it was fine for it to lose color and gain pearls but since the last 2 days it has stopped eating, moreover it eats 1 pellet then stops eating. Earlier it could eat 5 pellets in one shot and no problem but now just 1 pellet + it has become very pale usually sits on the gravel all day or hides near the heater
