    Dear friends,

    I just got a pair exquisite fairy wrasse about 3 weeks ago. The female is very active and the male is always hiding. It's been 3-4 days that the male stop eating and his skin color is fading. The female is eating a lot and her skin color is getting dark.

    Anybody know if my male is dying? :cry:

    Thank you so so much.
    Jarunee.

    What are your water parameters? What are you feeding it?

    Here is a form from another thread on livestock issues. Fill out as much as possible so we can get some good info about your system. Just copy and paste it in your reply, and answer as many questions as possible. Without knowing any info on your system, it could be nearly impossible to come up with a solid answer for you:
