I sold my foxface this morning and just got a call from the new owner that she swam around fine for a few hours but now she's completely black, tail down and nose straight up between 2 rocks.  I've seen her mottled when scared, that giraffe coloring but never pitch black.  She's in the tank with other tankmates from my tank and 3 baby damsels.

He said he doesn't think she's breathing but I told him if she was dead she wouldn't be perfectly still, she'd be flowing with the current.

Anyway, has anyone seen a foxface pitch black and in that position?

I haven't seen them vertical like that but I had a scribbled rabbit that would go black when he was stressed.

I've seen her vertical before but not black.  I told them to dim the lights and stay away from the tank and let her calm down, we'll see how she does.

before I sold my foxface, I temporarily put it in my 12g nano at the time after taking it out of the 120g tank, he turned completely black for at least one day. He was super stressed out
