That actually looks normal to me. If I hadn't been told that this just happened, I would think nothing of it. Could be just stress..

@Justmike I need a clear, closeup pic of his face. Because like @melypr1985, I'm not seeing anything wrong.

I will try to post another photo.

The orange color on the mouth was completely black since I had him now it's orange . And the orange increased overnight

That's the coloration of my b&w as well. The orange will transition to all black on the face when they fully mature

Hey guys thanks for responding so fast , so the color goes from black to orange back to black againas it matured ? The reason I ask is because it was black until last night .
@ humble i will try to get a Better pic

@melypr1985 stress makes sense as this happened after a small water change yesterday

I would just give it time. I'm sure he's ok. Go ahead and get the picture so we can be sure, but I think prognosis is good here.

Now most of his entire body is losing the black color and he is swimming frantically around the tank.
All that was just from over night when I went to bed he was "fine"
Any thoughts
