For me it's the other way. My 4 ITs are always charcoal or pale when in a tank by themselves. But when placed with my oscars and channa, becomes stable.

Dear all, thank you for your valuable inputs and feedback. My IT still had not started taking MPs yet. Today during WC, managed to take 2 shots. Tried on the lights for a whole day (first time I ever did that) and off it after 24 hours of non-stop tanning, end up making my gar and TFB colour also become much better! My IT not very stable yet but much better than when it was newly introduced to my tank.

Do give your comments

My ITs always in black since they had been growing bigger, now ard15".
Remember last time when they were small (8inch- 12inch) and still manage to see them in nice color.
But to me now is getting hard to bring it back.

I'm asking as any ITs I try to keep in my (white background but clear side with no oyama pasted) clear tank is mostly unstable...

I bought and sell and give away ITs (previously) are all not stable the moment it enter my tank.....when I sell/trade/give away FOC, the new owners all told me they became stable in their tank and even whatsapp me the pics (heartpain )

I recently bought a 3bar (not clean 3-bar though) IT about 9" in size. It was stable in previous owner's tank. It was unstable in my tank when lights are on (black patches appear on body) but when I off the lights, it became more stable, at least can see the 3 stripes. This is so far the best IT I have in this clear tank of mine. My previous 622 tank with blue oyama have no problem as all my ITs there are super stable. I will try to post pics if I manage to take a pic tonight.

So for bros who are keeping ITs in clear tank, any experience to share? IT sifus please feel free to comment.

Thank you

Same thing for me bro, my IT comes out looking stable when there is dim light or when its hungry. Other then that, he will be hiding somewhere turning black. weird fella.
