Morty Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Quick opinion count here: I picked up 2 very nicely colored SS No entry females a few months back and they have been breeding machines, they have lost a bit of their fullness to the white but my issue is with the offsrping, they've been born with perfect colouring but as they have matured, most of them are losing their white. Is it just genetic? Water params? Bad luck? I've never seen colour loss like this before. I'm at work or else I would attach some photos but the white is turning clear.

Kakarot Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 It can't be stress since the red coloring isn't fading. Maybe the parents were fed with color enhancement food before you got them? And now with the offsprings, their true genetics are showing up. Idk just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 based off just the little info, water parameters, looks like genetics. are they healthy beyond the color? Vpier 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplepanda Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Same thing happens to me or my CRS rather . Never happens to my TBs, although the colour of the blue bolts fluctuates. It also depends on the time of day, as after lights off or in dim light they seem to loose colour no matter what the grade. I removed a few A to SS grades that did not have great intense colour into a cull tank and within a week or so they had great intense colour. The perplexing thing is the water condition and filtration in this tank was nowhere near as good as their main breeding tank, well so I thought.. confused to say the least !
