Garlic has been changing colours. His whole body was black when I got him now hes getting red all over him. His tail was always red but now his head is started to change.

Heres some pictures

Before(when I first got him)

And now, he doesnt even look like the same fish

Any reasons?

Maybe the red gravel? Lol, I have no idea. He is a cutie though!

that's so strange! i have no idea why this would happen. maybe it's something in his water, food, etc?

Yep, that's pretty normal! I think every single one of my VTs changed colors drastically after a few days. My halfmoons and plakats not so much.. but the VTs looked like totally different fish! I'm not sure why but I think it has to do with better quality water, food and more than a plastic cup to swim around.
