So I have two beautiful Royal Farlowella Cat fish who are both very outgoing, active, non-stop munching away on the tank, the plants, the decor and the food - I feed algae wafer, shrimp pellets and cat fish pellets - I also feed baby brine shrimp.
I noticed a few days ago on of my Royals had lost most of it's colour, I started observing and it is acting completely normal - still very active throughout the tank, eating, pooping.
I have searched so much online and can find nothing. The only thing I found was that when breeding they can sometimes have albino babies - which makes me think I could be having a case of Benjamin Button here lol.
I do 20% water changes twice a week and have never had spiked ammonia, nitrates are 20-40, ph 7.6, zero nitrites and zero to small amounts of ammonia - but as mentioned I do regular twice weekly water changes.
Nothing has changed, all other fish are very active, shrimp are berried, red neon's laying eggs, variety of food.
Anyone with any experience - the fish doesn't act stressed in the slightest, it is acting no different.
I am baffled.
Thanks in advance.
