Red Around Tang's Mouth

You're right....I'll just have to help him from now on.

Haha at this point I'm just going to have to chalk it up to him trying to make himself even more beautiful!

 

I was researching acceptable nitrate levels for my mantis (if I ever find one ) and came across this article. If your n03 is high it will cause red areas to appear on your fish. Just thought of this thread when I read it.

Marine aquariums: Nitrates

 

Thanks for the article! That is good to know. Thankfully my nitrates are 0. But this is good info to have! He hasn't been wearing any more lipstick lately, so hopefully her decided to do away with it.

 

That's good news for sure!

 

I think it was just a phase he was going through

 

Maybe he was just curious and the decided it wasn't for him LOL
