Pale Potter's Angel (picture)

[k427]

My potter angel (~1" long) has started to fade and turn pale. He's been in the tank for around a month. He's active and moving around the tank picking at the rocks. Not breathing irregularly and no noticeable bullying from tank mates. Prams I can currently test for are below. Waiting on a few more kits to test for the rest. Currently running carbon(rox) and bio pellets in a dual reactor.

 

I rotate feeding mysis, brine, new life spectrum (all purpose), and reef chili.

 

3 nitrate

0 nitrite

0 ammonia

8.2 pH

1.024 sg

78F

 

Any ideas? Please let me know if there's any other information needed to help diagnose

It may be a little pale because it's subadult/female. As it grows with a good diet, it'll become a beauty!

I was suggested to get some angel specific food (sponges). Am trying that now and will keep a close eye on him.

Fresh seafood (various meats and nori) will also work really well.

Your potter's is adorable. That head on shot is too cute. Almost makes me want an angel... a l m o s t

 

Good luck with his color!

Did you quarantine? Just checking

Sometimes I thought my Potters was pale looking.

How long has it been pale?

Have you actually seen it eat? Or did you list broadcast foods?

How often do you feed?

I've seen him eat and poop. I just went and got the angel food and fed it and he was eating that too.

 

How often do you feed?

Average two times a day. Probably too much.
