RTC pale coloured

[jurutera]

Hi guys,

My RTC has been doing fine until now. It has grown in 2 months from 4" to 10".

The other RTC has grown slowly in length but in appears wider now. Its now only 7" long and looks way smaller than the 10" RTC.

However the bigger one has stop eating enthusiastically and looks gray while the smaller one is black.

Any info on wat might be happening? doesnt look like its sick.

Thanx

stressed out maybe?

Looks like it but i dont know wat is stressing it out so bad.
Maybe it has to do with me shifting the driftwood its been staying under and he cant fit under it anymore. But the other RTC is not timid.

what size tank ? what are other tankmates?

 

[jurutera]

Tank size is 6' x 4' x 2' deep.
Other mates are 2 TSN, 1 TSNxRTC and of course another RTC.
Plus 3 tinfoil barbs, a koi and a feeder which had been there for nearly 2 months now.

Try putting a large piece of PVC pipe for it to hide in. Maybe it's stressed from losing it's hiding spot.
