Im Not Going Crazy

[miaheatlvr]

I just did a water change, then fed my fish,, MY HIPPO TANG in the span of 2 hours has lost all of his COLORING! I have never seen this,, 2 hours ago he was a deep rich blue color, and now HE is Blotchy and has LOST PIGMENTATION,, HE STILL EATS very well and agressively,, HAS ANYBODY ELSE EVER SEEN THIS? He looks like someone dipped him in Flour in the span of 2 hours or KINDA like when a Yellow tang sleeps, he gets rid of all his color! Please any IDEAS? He is the best I can do with pics!

I would say it's just the different in the temp. of the water you put in the tank. Tanks as you know do change colors under stress and other certain conditions. If the fish doesn't color back up after a day or so then I would worry. JMO

He didn't like something about the new water.

Yeah, I see it every friday when I do water changes at work. Or when I stir their tank a little.
