After successful breeding the silver carp brood fish are stocked in stocking pond but some of the silver carp color is silvery dark grey and other dark orange color what happens of this sudden change?
It is normal for fish to change color over time. If the fish consume food and appear normal it maybe has more to do with genetics. The genetics has a big role in their developing colors. The other factors such as change in environment, change in water kind, water temperature, age , food kind and their exposure, or lack of, to sun can reason for the changes in the fish color
Dear Rajkumar
Without looking at the fish it is not possible to decide what is the problem. there are several causes that might give the yellow or dark coloration among them is xanthism for yellow and ambicoloration for the dark.
Can you send me a copy of the image of the fish
my email
I am interested to see if any other comments different from the comments which mentioned above.
All the bset
What kind of feeds you use for fish??
If you use feed which contains pigments their colors may change easily. (specially fins too)
And also check smear of skin mucous to detect some bacteria or other kind of microorganisms.
Put some orange color fish to glass tank which contains clear water and check the color again.
Those kind of things I can suggest for you.
If you do ,hope to see your results too.
Regards.
