Is my electric yellow alright?

[Fishguy13]

Hello, was just wondering if my electric yellow is alright because it is very pail but still loves to eat ph and everything is fine.

It is looking pale. Is it a male or a female? Sometimes different sexes of fish have different colorations.

I am not exactly sure yet as only it's dorsal fin is black.

With many fish, looking pale is a sign of stress are there any new fish in the tank?

These 2 electric yellows are the newest fish in the tank.

How long have they been in the tank? When did you last test the water and results? Is the temperature warm enough? and when did you last do a water change and how much %?

 

[Fishguy13]

I have only finished cycling this tank about a month ago so have done no water changes, tested ph about 4 days ago and have had the elctric yellows for about two weeks

Do a big water change like 75% and do not forget to add conditioner try to match the temp of the water in the tank. Vacuum the gravel also.

 

[Fishguy13]

Ok will try that thanks

Post how he is doing tomorrow. Try and do weekly water changes of 50% if you can. It will help keep your fish healthy.

Could it be possible that it is a sub dominant male?

Hello can anyone help

Was it always that colour or was it a proper yellow when you first got it?
If it has always been that colour it could be a hybrid.

If it's still eating well, don't worry about it.

It has also been a little pale but has got more pale and it is still eating well
