Changing Colors?

dubzilla Jan 18, 2005 03:45 PM

Sorry, another stupid question, but I'm kinda worried. My Blue auratus started turning more of a turquois-green. Is this normal? Or something I should worry about?

It happens with mine, too. I wouldn't worry about it. It may be due to your own seasonal perception of the reflected natural light from the windows in your room. Mine appeared to be turquoise this summer, but now appear to be their old blue selves in winter. I don't think it has anything to do with their health, and may not have anything to do with an actual change in color-- only your season natural and artificial lighting arrangements that give you various perceptions of the color. I don't really know, and am trying to figure and explain these apparent color changes myself. But I don't think it is anything to worry about healthwise for your blue auratus.
