I just moved my bigger axy, who I've had from newly hatched, into a full size tank yesterday evening, and this morning her gills (which have always been fairly bright red) are a much darker brown.

She's been moved from an unfiltered tank with just rocks to one with plants and a filter in, and she's exploring the tank looking pretty happy, and eating fine. Is this something to worry about, or is it likely to just be a result of higher oxygen levels?

Just worried when my baby does something unexpected...
 
It's probably nothing to worry about. She just has more blood flow because of the increased activity.
 
Thanks :)

She's not looking stressed otherwise, so I didn't think it was something too serious, but I thought it was worth checking!
