Things have been going well with my tank. I had saved two black Molly fry who are now in "gen pop", and tonight, noticed a new fry in the tank (not sure what it is yet).

However, one of my gold lyretail mollies has been turning colors over the past couple of months. I have two, and the other is still a vibrant orange. This one is turning almost gray/black, with a hint of orange. Any ideas?

The fish itself isnt showing any signs of distress. It swims happily along with the others. All of the other fish have good color and movement, and the young molly fry are doing great, growing like weeds. Could this have been the fish that just gave birth to the fry I found tonight?

Nothing seems out of line with ammonia, ph, trItes or trAtes.

Thanks!
