I have a couple of questions,

[Lolz]

Hi there! This is my first day on monster fish keepers, and I have a couple questions on my cichlids. I have a sevrum, jack dempsey, green terror, firemouth, and a african cichlid that are all babies. I was wondering on how I can bring out the fishes color. My sevrum is black and says it is turquoise and I been having him for about a week or 2 and the color has not changed. So pretty much my question is on How to bring out the fishes color as much as possible.

I have another thing I need to ask, but is really simple. I have a 55 gallon tank and i was wondering how often I have to change the water and how much. This question is not a must, but i would be very helpful to me.

Thanks

Your fish should not be housed together. I would research each fish and put together a tank that will work long term. Second fish look better as they mature. High Quality fish food, and good water will bring out the best color. I would do weekly water changes of at least 25 percent
