Question
hye there. i have one question. my parrot fish is changing its color on parts of its body to black. is that normal?

Answer
Hi Asma Nabilah,

It is indeed very normal.  Parrot fish are often sold colored as juveniles.  This is a completely normal transformation and the fish is getting its real colors.  Sometimes they change, not because of being dyed, but because they are just maturing...again, this is not something to worry about.  

Happy fish-keeping!
