It never ends... Something new every week. So my YWG was very "yellow" when living with his Randall's pistol shrimp buddy. For some reason he is on opposite side of tank. This has happened once before towards the end of their QT stay. But they found eachother once again in DT. Anway this time it's different. The YWG has been away from hole for over a week and is turning very pale white/grey. Losing all his yellow almost. Now I googled this and a lot say this is normal... But I don't know. He's not eating normal but will eat a few pellets/mysis here and there. Doesn't have burrow to sleep in. Plenty of holes yet he just sits on sand. Pistol is still alive but I rarely see him. Wondering if they can get in quarrels or something? Or is this color change a disease I don't know about? :fish1: Or is this symbiotic relationship just over???
 
Not sure if shrimp is okay. I saw him one time in past week. He only really came out when the YWG lived with him. But I did see him digging recently. I squirt a little food in his hole so I hope he's getting it. But my Watchmen looks awfully pale white.
