in my tank!
i dont know why his color is like this and when i take him out of the small breeder tank he swims upright and doesnt swim properly...

one side he shows all 3 bars and on the other side the middle bar is hardly noticeable..

still eats daily...

any ideas?

Why do you keep him in it??? He's stressed thats for sure. Maybe its something to do with his swim bladder.
 
he looks really thin what are you feeding?Is that shrimp?As far as markings he may just be that way a two bar on that side.
 
he just ate a piece of shrimp...before that it was rosies....sad to say but thats all they will eat now...

2 bar orino??


but that middle bar was there when i got him...i dont know...the other orino (2nd pic) i have is perfectly fine and so is the kelberi...
 
maybe a two bar you never know can you move to a smaller hospital tank if hes eating thats a good sign!More likely the bars are fading because of condition though.If all he will eat is small rosies than give him as much as he can eat!Worry about converting later!
 
looks very stressed...try adding a small floating plant.
feed him quarantined live for now and get him bigger.
 
doesnt' look like a 2 spot to me but derno. all i know is he looks really stressed in there. I recommend putting a divider in the tank instead...
