Its the stress bars,dark fins and most of all washed out color. Usually the color pops in fish that are paired.. just gave me the impression it was not feeling well. Older fish can get that look too.
But from Toms sept pic it doesnt look to have changed much. ..which is a good sign.

Re: 8 day old fry! Some questions.
Yes it’s a strange fish. Batik eruption. Here’s the day I got itAttachment 137944 he’s up front. This pic is 10 days laterAttachment 137945 far left. The other 2 are females and have both been laying eggs together on a regular basis. Neither wanted the male in the tank. So I removed a female and he looked like thisAttachment 137946. Guess fry don’t agree with him. They only raised fry once. Been eating them regularly since. Now debating adding them to main tank.

Pics of parents in main tank.Attachment 138632Attachment 138633 male is acting fine and eating. But still looking kind of gray and showing bars.
Re: 8 day old fry! Some questions.
I think I started going gray while acting fine and eating (too much) when I first had kids too. Also still doing that now.

Re: 8 day old fry! Some questions.
Thanks!! I’m happy with the way they turned out and now just hoping they grow more in the bigger tanks. The female parent has been laying eggs with a pigeon blood since I moved her into the 180. So I’m going to put them into the 50 and see how it goes.Attachment 139303Attachment 139304
