Nice fish, but the male seems to lack blues, maybe because of the light.

@buddha1200
Great input! Thank you!
Your syns are stunning.

I usually change about 30% once a week but I'll take your advice and do more massive water changes.

Much more colorful.
I assume the bigger water have been working.
Good job keep us posted.

Yes, slightly more color than last month, I started doing 70-80% weekly water changes.

You will notice a big difference on how they stay colored up and how fast they grow.

This guy is showing a different coloration lately with a much darker blue (more like indigo) on the belly, darker red on the head, could be a female? He's also displaying pair bonding behavior with the guy from the first photos like gills flaring, chasing around the tank, digging pits in the sand and so on. Hopefully I'll get my first pair soon.

Good job looks like u might have a pair.
Large water changes and good food will do it every time.
