Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky went hunting? Well anyway, Brasky decides he's gonna hunt down all four members of the Banana Splits. He stalks and kills every one of them with a machete. They all beg for their lives, except Fleagul.

I dont know. But I check all my parameters, nothing is wrong at all. Magnesium was 1200 no measurable nitrates salinty was fine......I cant figure it out. Ive asked a few people that have been in the hobby for a while.....they have no clue either. Its still running around my tank having a good time, digesting and expeling sand. Its breathing fine......I just cant figure out why it changed colors. Im glad it did.......its sweet. To quote my lfs owner (and buddy) Maybe it just felt like changing colors.

Remember the brighter the color the more poison it can contain............Well I have heard that as a general rule of thumb

It looks like you made him angry, I hope you didn't insult his mother, that would just be childish and totally counter-productive.
