    Ive just got in from work (note the time:mad:) looked in my clown tank and the female's white stripe has turned black, is this normal? the males stripe is still white.

    I know fish lose a bit of clolour on a night time but ive never known them to change completely

    Hi John most fish change colour at night it so that they blend in with the area, my yellow tang goes white and my yellow rabbit fish goes all mottled. Dont worry as it will return to the right colour when day light comes, if not leave it quiet and keep an eye on it. HTH Eric:D
