problem with green chromis

[Dyncaus]

hey, i just picked up a small green chromis a couple days ago, and he seemed to be doing fine, but tonight when the tank lights had been off for a while i noticed that he was hidden away in a rock and a lot of his color seems to be lost. do they generally lose color during the night like i have heard yellow tangs do? or is he getting sick? thanks for the help... the other tankmates are a pair of false percs, and a coral beauty

Day/Night colors are normally different for most fish in general.

My chromis got very light, almost transparent looking at night.

Hey Larry!!! Last time I posted about my fish lookin like ghosts at night you got mad at me at told me not to mess with the lights at night. Get mad at Dyncaus too!! :-D JK

[Dyncaus]

Ok. Hey Dyncaus, quit scaring the poor thing and he wont be so pasty.
But, then Manny, he didn't say he turned a millions watts of lights on all of a sudden while he was sleeping like you did.
You should hear the comments my patients make in the middle of the night when I flip the big ceiling lights on when the room is pitch dark. Hehe, I think of your poor fish as they fuss at me and squint their little eyes. :D

lol Well Larry, it wasn't exactly a million watts of light. It was only 96 watts of actinic :grin: I don't do it anymore cause everytime I get the urge to or my friends wanna see my fish at night I think nope, Larry'd get mad :-D
