Default Pregant Kribensis changing colors/patterns

Usually my Kribs are healthy, active, and full colored, but every now and then, mostly once of twice a day, i notice that either one or both change color/pattern from their usual tan and black lines to a more faded, vertical striped pattern that looks somewhat broken up. ill try and post pictures when i get back from vacation. I usually notice it in the male, but occasionaly i notice the pregnant female change.

has this happened to anyone with their Kribs? they recover within 10 minutes usually, and return to being happy and active.

Hi- I have 5 in a 55 gal tank- it's fright, I believe, and not a concern - do you have PVC or a rock cave they can hide in? - They won't lay without at least one of them- BTW, I'm looking for a female- I bred them successfully in CT...
(In FL now, tho')
