Potter's Angel turning pale/white

[JoshuaG]

I got a small Potter's from PIA about 3 weeks ago, a week ago I started Prazi. My Potter was beautiful and vibrant when I first got it, in the last day I have noticed a large change in color, he is turning pale and almost white on his belly. He is eating like a pig and other then being a spaz, seems healthy.

Tried getting a video but it's much more pale in person. At about 20 seconds you get a good glimpse of his true color. Any advice? Thanks all!

i'm guessing stress. mine will turn pale when being bullied. he'll turn a deep blue when feeling froggy. best of luck.

Their coloration changes from one day to the next. I would say it is most likely stress. Keep the prazi for another week and then remove it.

He acts normal for a potters so I would not be worried.

Thank both of you! He is in a 30B with the small multibar so hopefully he calms down. I did the prazi for 7 days, just did a water change and added carbon last night. I'll wait a week and do another round of it just to be safe.

If you are treating with Prazi for flukes you have to do 2 or 3 treatments in a row, not wait a week between treatments.

From the vid. the potters looks pretty healthy.

Omg they are so cute! Prazi can also be done orally.
