[pinnatus]

I have now noticed for the second time that the colors on an angel reversing back to more juvenile coloration. First i saw it with a juvenile emporer that had begun changing. I introduced a larger changing emporer into the same tank, and noticed over the next couple of months that the color change had regressed on the smaller angel. It then moved forward again and reached adult coloration.

Currently i have a Rock Beauty. I have had it for over two years now. I have other angels in with it - a Queen, a Koran, and I recently added an adult Annularis. The Rock Beauty is the smallest angel in the tank. When i look at old pictures, i notice the black area on its side is much larger than it is today. As they mature, the black area enlarges to its adult coloration.

It seems like it’s coloration is reversing. Could this be because of the other angels?
