i think think the hue could stay...but maybe he'll get a little lighter or darker (depends a little on the substrate too).
I hope that he will keep his hue...i've got the similar situation with an white hued delhezi^^.

One of my Dels (Charlie) is like that. He's about 12" now and still nice and white which I really like, kind'a sets him apart from my other one.
how big is your main tank for the polys?Thanks guys.
Yeah for $10 I couldn't leave him there all alone today. I think this makes #8 poly nowGot him in the grow out tank with the other two Sens (one normal & one albino) which are about 6". So far they seem to be getting along well.
i'm at #3 at the moment and trying to estimate the space thats needed for a pack like yours...
Right now I have 5 of them in my 120g 4'x2'x2' tank. It has one 13" Ornate, a pair of dels 11" & 12", and a pair of sens 8" & 6". Then I have the other 3 sens in the grow out tank. Eventually the Ornate and Datnoid that is also in that 120g will be moved to their own tank and the other sens will be moved to the 120g so it will be all sens and dels in there.
i'm glad to read this...i was scared that my 3rd was to much... but i wasn't able to say no to this pattern
I haven't found a poly yet I could say no too 
lol
I've only been into polys for about 2 yrs now, so there's guys here that know much more about them than I so maybe they will chime in on tank sizes and number of polys. From my exp though I think it seems as long as you try to keep LJ's from being mixed with smaller UJ's and its a "decent" size tank, then you can put a pretty good number of them together since they are pretty social long as they have ample room to turn around. That's why I kept my 4x2x2 tank and sold the 6x18x21. The front to back seems to be more usable than just length for them.

Thats pretty similar to my experience.
Space to turn around is no problem, i've got 4x2 ground space too and a very open tank design.
The moste of the time, all three are stacked in the same cave^^ (there are 3 caves that are large enough... but this one seems to have something special xD)
But i think i have to watch my self a little bit because i don't want to overtake it^^ (and keep the remaining space for very special bichirs)
