It is part of the genetically coded decoloring process. Nothing to do about it. Kind of a disappointment if you wanted it to stay orange, tho. -- Charles Does not play well with others.

Its not so much that a gf loses its colour, it is that a gf feels more
comfortable with a darker background. Ages ago when i had white sand in my tank, the fish were acting all paranoid and weird. I changed to bottomless (it was a black pane of glass) and the fish acted much more comfortable... The reason for putting black bottoms in tanks is the same reason alot of hairdressers wear black aprons, to emphasise colour. "Gfishery" wrote in message ... "Gio" wrote in message ...
