View Full Version : Not so.Yellow Ogon
BoyPete
June 14th 06, 08:09 PM
Over the last 24 hours, my two Yellow Ogon have turned a darkish grey,
except their tails.
We had storms and torrential rain yesterday, and water temp had dropped 4
degrees in that time.
Could that be the problem? Will it reverse?? Other ideas??

======================
I have yellow Ogon and never saw this happen after a heavy rain and
temperature drop. I never saw it happen in their fry either. My biggest
koi, a female 7 or 8 years old, is a yellow Ogon. Her color never changes.
Please post back if you discover what caused the change of color. I'm
curious.......

I'm only a few months into pond/fish keeping. I'm not keen on netting them
for a better look, in case the stress is detrimental. All the fish were slow
to eat tonight............never known that before. I'll test the water
tomorrow evening (I'm in London UK).

==========================
If something is wrong you may not want to wait that long. Loss of appetite
is not a good sign. That and changing color that quickly would have me out
there running every test I have. Could the torrential rain have caused a
serious rapid drop in PH and TDS (total dissolved solids)? Just a
suggestion, but I wouldn't wait.

I don't know..........that's why I asked........I'm new to this. It's 10pm
here, I'm I have to go to bed .....up at 5am for work.
All the fish did eat eventually.........all the food given. I'll visually
check them before I go tomorrow. Thanks for your input :)

Usually sudden color changes are related to water quality. So it will be
interesting to see what your's tests out to be. Besides pH you'll need to
test KH, buffering. Not enough buffering causes pH to crash. ~ jan

Hello there sissy boy pete
See what urinating in your pond does, it makes the fishes color fade
out. ****ting in the water causes different problems so thats not the
cause.

Rain usually dilute the buffering. Test pH at dusk and dawn, if there is a
swing of more than .4-.5 you need buffering. ~ jan

No one has to sign up, the suggestion is in my sig. for those who can't
handle the profanity here, and/or can't filter fast enough. As long as real
ponders post here, so shall I. :-p ~ jan
