I recently adopted a clown loach that looks like its color has faded. I have one that has normal coloring. Will this change over time. Is it from stress?
Its been only 3 days. They both seem to like each other. Playing chase alot. Looking closer at its fins, they seem to be getter darker in color. I would try to take a picture but my camera sucks and they are just too fast lol.
Clown loaches are especially sensative to stress in terms of losing color. My loach has extremely bright colors, I think its also partial to the color enhancing foods you feed it. I would give him a little time to adapt, get some good food in him and the colors will come right back.
