k427 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 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 Link to comment
1.0reef Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 It may be a little pale because it's subadult/female. As it grows with a good diet, it'll become a beauty! Link to comment

RC1313 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 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? Link to comment

Have you actually seen it eat? Or did you list broadcast foods? 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. Link to comment
