Help!! Zebs with pink tummys

[jonnieboy]

Hi All
I have noticed from time to time my zebs have a pinkish tinge to their tummies/under bellies?

I have read that this is a sign of under feeding and I have also read it could be the food they eat or could it be the females when they are gravis?

Can anyone shed some light on this

Many thanks Jonnieboy

Hi Jonnie

First of all this may seem like a silly question, but what do you feed them? The younger of my zebras used to get a reddish tinge when I fed them tetra prima, purely due to the thin skin on their underside.

As for being gravid, I have not seen any change in colouration before.

You would have to give more info or a pic to give a more adequate answer.
Like:

size of fish
feeding regime
male/female
strange behaviour of the fish

Otherwise you get wild guess answers which will not help.
