It has a (I think) a colour pigment similar to us (humans)-from the more light, the darker or tanner the pigment. I found this when i got bored of fish keeping and forgot to turn on my lights for my crayfish aquarium, and, I noticed the colours started to fade.

very nice cray anyway.

Interesting... does that apply to fish too?

Not sure, I think that's what happen, like, I came up with it, so I could be completely off. But, That's what happened to my cray, he was a blue, and I forgot to the turn on the lights for a few days and he started to pale down.

well, fish will look more colourful if you have a substrate/back ground that corresponds with the fish's colour, e.g A jack dempsey in a tank with a black
substrate and back ground.

I've noted that my snakehead tends to become paler when it's kept in the dark for too long...

Anyway, thank you for the advice regarding the substrate and background :)
 
Some new pictures... :)
