Post by Atlas »

Hi,

Hope anyone with info on the a/m fish can help.

1. What are its favourite foods
2. What are its feeding habits
3. Why some are yellow while some are blackish
4. Can the blackish turn yellow and how?

Any other related info is much appreciated.

Thank you.

This may help. The dark gray fish are just yellow ones that have changed color. See the color change here.

They're very very shy, especially the small ones. And they're delicate too, so pay more attention to the smaller ones if you're having the small ones. I seldom seen my 2.5" around at all.
