foxface turn blotchy and get spots loose all there color when lights are off they stick there fins up for defence they are venimous is any other fish bothering it its normal for them to change colours but temp changes make them prone to ich even if its just a few dagrees try to keep steady temp they are pretty strong fish i have 2 in seperate tanks they had ich and got better and are doing good lol

he's fine. He shows these to tell others to get away from him, he may also do this when lights are off. your hands are in the tank .. etc

if you toss in some food then back away from the tank he will go back to normal and should come right out and eat food always calms mine down
