make sure your water is in great condition. And leave the lights on. They will be somewhat dull after the light has been off for a while. And what size are they? mine didnt start to get their nie colors until around 10 inches

If you have a farmie they can be dark. I have one that is the same. He is by himself, and I think that has something to do with it.
