that male is Baaad. He got shine and colors ready to show. Just get a back ground + plants and let them settle. Your Polleni pale too because of that.
The male is definitely showing some great color already. Blue on his cheeks and spangling in his fins already. I'm so excited to see how he turns out! I'll keep everyone updated.
The bleekeri is fine now. He has already colored up and is off on his own. There wasn't any aggression between those two even in the bags. I think the washed out color of the bleekeri is due to being bagged and all the movement.

Picture update!
I've had these guys for a little over a week now and they are adapting very well. They recognize and greet me every time I approach the tank. The colors are starting to really change now. So far, I'm very impressed with the male. He's got some great color and shows some good promise.

My female festae started eating massivore last night! 
the male is a little trickier. He holds out for bloodworms most of the time. I watched him start to eat some pellets and flakes last night finally. I hope he fills out some soon because he is too thin for my taste.

Update! 
I got some good pics of both festaes this time. They are doing well and starting to eat more of the food I offer. I had a bit of a difficult time getting them switched over to what I feed. Starting to thicken up more and get awesome colors.
