I was thinking that fish might had been fed some harmoned food to make it color up at such a small size.
you mean hormone food?harmoned food
Yeah "hormone" food.. I had some of those flakes long time ago. You could give baby cichlids this at 1" size and they would color up intensely. But it would fade once you stopped giving the food. I think it also made the fish sterile.you mean hormone food?
