My apisto cacatuoides female turned unusually very dark gray, she's also been hiding a lot in the cave and not letting anyone near it. What could be the reason?
Thanks.
Well I don't recall my females getting greyish colored, but I would think that she is in breeding coloration. It might be defensiive or stress coloration though. Check for eggs.

She's now a bit lighter, and has quite a lot of yellow in her. She's been guarding the pot for quite a while now.. So I can't wait to see what happens next.
