urgent help needed!

[angry]

Hi ppl,

my red angler seems discoloured! It display pinkish instead of its original radiant red! I fed him a molly last night and it seems to be feeding well. I recently removed a sick lion from my tank and added some marine vitamins for my fishies.

Can someone give me some sound advice? Thanks heaps.

fishes sometimes loses its color due to high phosphate... so it maybe your tank phosphate level is high...try checking it ....

I just started looking at angler. If I am not wrong their colour will change to suit the surrounding...camouflage to catch their prey... it will change to yellow of the lr of purple/red of coraline algae... i think this should be the reason and some more it is eating...

where do you get yours? how much?

It could be due to diet. Mollies are not fully marine fish..they might be lacking in certain compounds beneficial for marine fish like DHA, etc.

For instance...I once kept a bicolor dottyback...it was magenta and yellow when I got it...after few months on a diet of bloodworms..it became pale pink and yellow. Try feeding it marine foodstuff...can go to market and look for white bait or something...
