New Datnoid Juveniles In My Baby Growout

Are you talking about them being unstable and very black/dark? That's the mystery of tigers. I usually try to buy the ones that are stable and gold already as they tend to stay stable.

It might get better once he's in a bigger tank, mine goes from being stabe with a nice gold, usually when he's cruising around he's stable. But if he sits in a spot for a while he goes pretty dark. Also when he starts messing with my ctenopoma he goes pretty dark

I found that too with my indos. Most of them that were out and about often throughout the tank seemed to show better colors at times. Many of them that would just sit in the corner and sulk most of the time didn't have much color. For me 1 indo always made me happiest looking at my tank. He was dominant, active and looking great the majority of the time

I got a 3 incher in a hundred gallon that moves around quite frequently. He is always stable.
