Afra (Cobue) Isnt Coloring Up

[LilBabyEmma]

I just bought 2 male and 1 female Cobue From a local cichlid Breeder.
There about full grown around 3 inchs. The Makes Got a really dark color like black/purple and got a lil of there yellow on there head and back.
But when they was in the bag on the way home they was colord up like they need to be a really light color with blue and yellow.
They have been in my tank for about 2 1/2 days now think it will take them a while to Get the hang of there new tank and the My Fish
Thanks

Give it time. You should see some color once they are all settled in.

once settled in only one male will color up, i suggest you trade the other male in and get a female. I currently have one male, and two females, and he is always colored up.
