Well am using a couple of 3 stripped damsels to finish cycling my tank. I couldn't stand the shrimp smell. Well today i noticed that one of the damsels front black band is looking like its bleaching whitish gray. The other one looks normal .. I have had the damsels about 4 days now . There both very active and are eating well. My params. Are ammo .25 nitrite .5 nitrate 10 ph 8.2 alkalinity normal i have 15 pounds of live rock and 40 pounds of live sand and tank has been running for about 3 weeks now .. Also i have a diatom bloom going crazy over my rocks and sand . Should i be worried .
