rbta & gbta bleached help?

[jadeguppy]

All three of my bta's bleached out. I think this was due to going a week with lighting only every other day and my tank running at 86-88 degrees without me knowing. I recently discovered the theometer was wrong and fixed the temp problem. I have tried target feeding them mysis and cyclopeeze and have seen some growth. Is there anything I can do to help them color back up? The gbta is all white and the two rbta are white with pink tips.

It can take a few months for it to recover. Is it taking the mysis well?

 

[jadeguppy]

Loves the mysis and has grown in the past two weeks. Do I just wait it out a few months, no way to help them along?

There is not much you can do other then to make sure you feed them regularly and keep the tank as stable as possible to avoid stress. What are your temps running at now?

 

[SaylorsReef]

I agree with prevyet.

About 80. Max swing from 78 to 81, but I adjusted a few things and should have that even more stable now.

It will be fine with those temps and it should recover just fine. Again, just keep the feedings going.
