Why is my parrot fish losing his appetite and changing colors?

Answer by  bigwig (654)

It is probably sick with something. Unfortunately, fish diseases are hard to diagnose and even harder to treat. Hope for the best.

Parrot fish will naturally change colors. That is one of the absolutely great things about parrot fish. If it is changing it is fine, if he is LOOSING it it means he is simply aging. As for not eating try changing the water or cleaning the tank and check on HP and other levels.

He may be dying. It depends on how old the fish is. The water in your tank could also be off in regards to PH.

The parrot fish may be experiencing problems due to the quality of the water. Use a test kit and check to ensure that the ammonia levels are not high. A test kit can be purchased from your local pet store. This should be done as soon as possible because the fish can die if this is not corrected.
