Green clown goby changed color

marcusbacus · Oct 27, 2020

Tonight when I went to feed my fish I noticed that my green clown goby lost all its reddish stripes but a few on his head, his body is now as I type this all green. He's in my tank for over 2 years and nothing changed during this week. He's quite pretty like this but it's weird...

Did something change with your lights? That could affect what colors you see.

Anything bothering it?

No, the lights are the same. I know that some fish can temporarily change colors for several reasons, but I never saw this one doing it.

Not that I have noticed. When he's scared he immediately darts and hides for a while on a kenya or something but comes back quite quickly.
I didn't see him today yet but I actually didn't look for him, I forgot about it when I went to feed them in the morning.

Mine will go dark if stressed, hopefully it will be fine.
