The black realy does not concern me because of the way that it turned black. The blue on his belly turning pale blue-white does concern me. Why did you mess with the heater? 81 was just fine. I personally keep mine at 79-80. How is this fish eating?

maybe he got cross-bred with a chameleon
are you sure they didnt pull that fish from somewhere around 3 mile island?
maybe he wanted to be a thug and go to the BET awards but he changed his mind
ok enough with the jokes....
is he eating ok? anything abnormal besides... the color?

Bill you have had this tank up to 85. You need to stabelize the temp. 81 was just fine, the swings are stressing this fish. Get it stable. We will see what he looks like later, get the tank stable, that is more important than if it is 78, 79, 80, or 81, set it within that range and keep it STABLE.

it has ben hard cus the room temp was up to 104 degrees. and the tank 85 then we put in the ac and the tank is now at 79. and STABLE
well he was black at the constat 80-81 and i turned it down and color started to come back.
th swings in temp over the past days hasnt done ne thing to he color. but im telling u.. the color now is better then ever.
