I recently bought 2 EBJDs and noticed they were kinda pale with the lights on ( i have pics in my albums) but when the lights are off in the tank they are just simply amazing IMO... please help me with this as I have started feeding them color enhancers just to make them pretty lol
Do EBJDs get more color as they grow?

They should get brighter as they grow. Getting to a max of 10". That is just what i am told from a friend of mine that knows a breeder. The breeder has 2 Pairs and one of the males is 10" with tons of color.(From what ive been told).
i find flowerhorn pellet the best.... never tried sumo tho.. its too expensive.. but i do feed my EBJD flowerhorn pellet...
Sounds to me like all you need are different lights... You can get slightly blue tinted lights to make the colors look even better.
They could be still getting acclimated to the tank. They will ge used to the lights, id say as long as they are not hiding when the lights come on then you should be fine, Just give them time. Also light colored gravel can wash them out as well.
^ I don't know if that was directed towards me a little, but I meant get lights that better represent their colors. Not that they're scared of the lights.
With mine, slightly raising the ph did the trick. They were displaying more black in a planted tank with 6.9ph. Now in a bare tank w/ ph 7.2, the black is gone and the blues are poppin'.
