I am wondering why my electric blue ahli's have turned from a decent blue to a dull blue? I purchased them about 6 weeks ago, they are about 3 inches long and in a 90 gallon with other africans. They are not being picked on and look healthy. Any ideas

what are your water parameters?did you switch foods?i found that feeding mine popcorn shrimp really bring out his colors.

Did you buy them from a tank where all of the fish were coloured up, or mostly coloured up?

 

[jorgy]

I feed them mainly a veggie formula and I bought them from a distributer

Try a more carnivorous diet. Veggies never hurt anyone, but the ahli will prefer a meatier diet.
