I have a blue mandarin its making me worried, is it normal for it to get pail during the night??

Is it pale ONLY at night????? Its not natural either way but the ONLy at night thing sounds weird.

This might be a stupid question but are you SURE its getting pale and not just appearing that way under whatever light you are using to look at it at might??

Mine always gets pale at night. Don't worry about it at all. I've had mine for 8 months now and it's always like that.

Many fish will loose color at night and brighten up once the day time rolls around.

I'm pretty sure its normal to get pale at night. Mine does everynight when its sleeping. It helps them blend in and not draw so much attention to itself.
