The day I posted this thread was the day I got the fish, so I'm sure stress has something to do with it. He looked nicer to me when I picked him up. Right now he seems really "light". The red isn't as red as it was and the blue is a bit lighter.
I do need to move this current tank mates (Uro, Red Head Cichlid, Red Snook, Datnoids, African Pike, Clown Loach). He is just chasing everybody around.
What do you suggest to feed him to make his colors come out more? You sound like you know what you're talking about so I appreciate any more thoughts or advice.
He is currently in a 150 gallon 60x24x24. Also you said you coud tell his head shrunk? I'd like to know how to identify that.
Thanks,
