I have been catching mummichogs for bait. Its a tidal water minnow that I catch close to home. I do some saltwater fishing. I keep them in 5 gal buckets with aerators. I have white buckets and blue buckets. The ones in the white buckets turn pale and the ones in the blue buckets turn blue. And it happens pretty fast, just a couple days.

LMB that you catch in muddy rivers look more pale and the ones caught in clear waters have the nice green colors to them.

Any other observations about fish changing colors? Do other fish do this? I never had an aquarium before.
