So, my bichir has always been a light grey and a couple of days ago (overnight) the color became a very dark, charcoal grey. I actually like the color change as it looks very good, but wanted to make sure everything was healthy. Behavior remains the same, eating well, et cetera. Water parameters are fine, no issues there. Just changed colors completely. Still white on the underside, though.

I don't know its scientific name, it is a "dinosaur bichir" as sold by Petsmart. I've had her for probably going on 4 months. She's still small, I'd say probably 4-5 inches and starting to grow in circumference.

Hmmm, I'm still not sure. The entire body is grey, with no bands. The jaw looks to match up pretty evenly.

Senegal, definitely by that picture. Well, that's what she looked like before the color change anyways. :lol:

Okay cool thanks for the update. Nobody shows the bichir any aggression, so I don't think it's a fear issue. And like I said nothing has changed behaviorally or anything like that. I'll continue keeping an eye on her, thanks all!
