What's up with this guy?

Post by jp11biod »

The is one of 8 adult L-333 in my 125 and the only one turning white. The white is slowly replacing all his other coloring. He seems fine. The fish are all probably 8-10 years old. They are some wild and some F1. Why is he turning white?

Wow, he looks dead. That's a scary look. I hope he is fine.

I don't know what causes this. I've had fish do it too, and they were fine also.

Good luck with it.

Cheers, Eric

Old age, LOL. Not sure otherwise.
