Any recent changes..new fish/filters/power outages etc etc: lost an electric yellow about a week ago due to an unknown cause, i was away working and mum was feeding them and found it floating one morning so i never got to examine it personally, i think that has brought on abit of shyness. but the dirty side of him has been progressing over the last few months. he seems healthy. and all the other fish are happy and healthy so not sure how normal this is or what not?
any information would be appreciated!
thanks.
