mb every thing in tank is dark so his color reflects that? i have a sand bottom and my jag really shows her color. pic when she was youngerjag2.jpg

I thought about tht but, before his/her colors was very bright like he/she was gold and a dark purple (blurple some people would say lol) so is it really tht..?

Maybe stress due to tankmates? Is He top dog or is there a few fights in the tank?
 
A few fights here n there but no other fih mess with him i always looked at him as the alpha... but like i said if i was to put something new in the tank his colors come right out... in fact he is showing color now just added a pair of convicts and he is now showing his a** so to say lol
 
Try changing the substrate color to a more natural looking one. Even if you continue to add fish, the jag will also relax and revert to a darker shade because of its adaptation to the dark substrate.
