I have a few Serpae tetras. They're usually always bright orange. A few weeks ago I switched from white/brown/tan natural gravel to black gravel. I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I noticed them turning more of a black orange and being 2x more timid than usual. I tested the water when I noticed it and everythings pretty normal. Anyone know why this might be happening?
