miurus lost his red color

Post by Redspotter »

I have my miurus for about 3 years now. First she was bright red. Now she is a bit light brownish.

What could bring her color back? Maybe the color of the sand? She's the some color as her sand at the moment.

Yep, with the red varient it is highly recommended to use reddish colored substrate to encourage them to stay red.. they try to blend in with their surroundings.
