How can i make the green come out of my mono's? I have them in a black on black setup and their colors are too dark.

This ^ and they are still very small. And I don't know if you have any decor but you mentioned a bare bottom... When I added driftwood and some plastic plants to my setup the color changed dramatically in my pbass.
