EBJD coloring

It's only around 3in. I had put stuff in there for him to hide before, but he never uses it. Could the light be drawing out his color?
I have just standard florescent lights on mine and he is very deep blue. Occasionally will have some yellow in him. I would also suggest changing to a darker color substrate. From my research lighter substrates will wash out the color. If I am wrong on this someone please correct me. What do you feed? I feed mine a varied diet of blood worms mysis shrimp and hikari sinking carnivore pellets. I just posted a pic earlier today in the same forum if you would like to take a look. Hope he gets the color you are looking for. I say he as most EBJD's are males from what I have read.
Hikari gold is good food. If you want to mix things up try mysis shrimp and blood worms. Mine seems to really like those.

But ultimately it's the gravel that's impacting his color? Also what is the difference between mysis and brine shrimp?
EBJDs are blue/green based fish, you want to feed it food that is high in spirulina if you want the colors to be at their best.
Here's my 8" with a black background. I've had 6 ebjds and their color can vary so much I had one that looked like a regular jd when it got stressed
