they are not going to be like the high grade fh you see. i have a female similar to these fish. good color enhancing foods will bring out their color a little. my female got alot more color and developed a blue sheen to her from feeding good food. the fins have a red tint on your fish and good food will make them look more red on the fins and body also. i am sure someone will tell you that they are low grade and not worth it, but they are your fish and only need to make you happy. i love my "low grade" fh. she has good personality and is always begging for food when i walk by. she does front flips too.
