Female JD Color

[Valyrian]

I have 3 JD's and all are unfortunately female so no chance of pairing

Anyway, all 3 happen to be about half a year apart in age and my largest 1 is prob a little over a year and a half old and she still only has that shiny blueish green coloring on her cheeks and fins and I was wondering when she would get that on the rest of the body.

I see pics of other people's JD's and JD's in stores and they all look great, with coloring all over their bodies, both the males and females. How old do JD's have to be to look like that?

My 8" male JD is full of color, blueish green on the upper part, yellowish green in the middle and metallic blue purple on the bottom. So I say about 5" and on it should have a descent sparkling all over and gets better as it matures.

My largest female is approx. 6 inches.

Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait

Also, what do you feed yours?

I feed mine freeze-dried krill, floating carnivore sticks, and sometimes flakes
