Celeste84 Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 unfortunately not. i can't get them to come close enough to the front to get any pics - i only noticed it because i completely changed the water in the tank today so they had to come close to the front of the tank where i left the water if it hadn't been for that i wouldn't have noticed anything, because they're as active as ever and eating really well. edit: not a real good pic, but i just took this one. they look a lot more pink IRL, but you get the general idea.

malignau Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 my bronze cories lose their colour after the sun sets and they havnt seen light for a few hours. Actually all my cories do the same to some extent (metae and axelrodi). Another thing i found is that when i first release them into my tank they are all pink, so im assuming stress makes them lose colour. Is there anything stressing them? =S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I wouldn't be too worried about the colour, as Malign said they fade right out when the light is muted and when stressed. A full WC would be enough to get them to bleach a bit. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeste84 Posted January 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 it was after the water change that i noticed it, so i'll give it a few more days to see if their colours go back to normal thanks for the advice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
