I have had my Festae for a few years now. Raised her from 1/2". She has always displayed great colors. Recently, she has reduced her colors dramatically. Water conditions are decent, no competition in the tank (rehomed my green terror), she's been eating normally, not noticing any parasitic/fungal growths, but she does very occasionally rub herself against the sand. I have moved the tank recently, but she started to lose her colors about 2 or 3 days before the move. All other tank mates appear to be very healthy. Only potential competition is a newly added 4" salvini, but again, her colors have been reduced even before this addition.
