So I went home for the week, leaving my axie up here by himself. I made sure to fatten up the week before I left, and gave him some fish to eat while i was gone. Tonight I came home, and he is pure white!!!! As in, if i threw him in some snow, you couldn't find him. His gills, which are normally BRIGHT red (see icon pic on left) and he usually has a pinkish tinge to him. His gills are BRIGHT WHITE. i seriously thought he was dead when i came home. But he is active, and four fish are gone. My tank, which is normally about 20C is currently 15C. I fed him some blood worms immediately, and his gills are starting to pink up, but what caused this? i had read that they can go up to a week w/o food.
