Figure 8 Colour

Hey everyone, I've noticed that when I turn on the lights in the morning my F8's colour is kind of dull. Once the lights are on for a minute or two then his colour is just as vibrant as ever. He's a healthy fish just weird with his colour, anyone else experience this?
-Thanks, Steve.

Hey Leroy

That's totally normal, it probably just takes him a few minutes to wake up

My puffers colour goes dull when they've eatten a lot and they're resting and digesting it all

also if they're startled they can go a pailer colour than they usually are

My fish (DPs) change color all the time. They do it especially at feeding time, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did it when they slept.

Cool, good to know and thanks for the replies. I'll keep an eye out when I feed him next to see if anything happens with his colour.
