My last Jardini only ate 3 Electric Yellow, 1 Desmoni, & tried to eat 2 petricola...
This is when he got to 7 inches...
Ps. SilverArowana's are nice...

New Jardini. Odd color?
- Thread starter charles-n-charge
- Start date
Light substate and lots of light will result in lighter fish, most fish have the ability to change colour somewhat, I'll bet id you were to put it in a tank with dark substrate and muted light the fish would look completely different (darker).
With regards to keeping it with your africans, isn't the pH too high for a Jar?

My pH is testing at right around 7.8, which is kinda of surprising considering how much driftwood is in the tank.
Today I'm seeing a tad more color come out. It's turning a slightly green color, and isn't as platinum looking as it was yesterday. I'll post some pics of what it looks like today

If I start to see things taking a turn for the worse, I'll just have to set up my 75g and move the smaller cichlids over there. There's only like 18 africans, so they'll fit pretty snug in there if I end up having to go that route
Looks like it is just a light coloured fish, but with a light coloured substrait it will be light tank treated, and probably stay light coloured.
As for the africans it is the golden rule in fish keeping "If it can fit in there mouth it will get eaten", and those africans will fit in the Jardini's mouth sooner or later.

More color today. Still pretty dull, but more green and gold is slowly coming out.
Also, I haven't seen any aggression yet, but he has followed a couple fish around, kinda checking them out. So on my next day off, I will start setting up my 75g to move some of the smaller cichlids to. I'll try to have the smaller guys out within the next week or so.
He did start to eat a little bit today for the first time though. He seems unsure about dry food, but he took a couple bites of Hikari Jumbo Carnisticks, so that's a good sign. Hopefully he starts eating more in the next few days
