    Can anyone please advise me on why my penang eruption female has gone relly dark in colour. [confused] She was fine yesterday and this morning i have noticed she has gone quite dark in colour! :( All the other discus ie pigeon blood, leopard snakeskin are ok but im worried now as to why this is happening. She is still eating and swimming around the tank as normal although. Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    might be just a little stressed or if it's breeding the parents turn darker to attract the frys to them and the frys eat the parents slime coat

    what's your water readings?
    Did you just add something (ie. chemicals, partial)?
