This is just a simple question/statement. I have two Kuhli Loaches in my tank and once I did a major water change and I placed them in a white bucket. Normally they are almost black because of their black stripes but when I put them in the white bucket they changed colour to almost 100% white! Does anyone else know they can do this? I put them back in the tank and within 5 minutes they had turned back to their natural colour to match the colour of the gravel. Is this normal!? It's pretty cool to watch.
 
My yo-yo's do the same thing. Not sure if it's a stress trigger or a camoflage reaction. It really bothers me more than it does them though. :rolleyes:
