My fh is getting huge!But......I f'd up and he lost tons of color.When I 1st bought him he was out of this world with colors up the wazooo and now hes just blue/black mostly.Then his other tank mates beat the crap out of him.He was the ruler of the tank and usually ate most of the food at feeding time-then one day all the others just decided that he wasn't gonna get to eat all the food anymore and they ALL jumped him.They would wait until he was all full and fat with food and lazy-then attack him.So I broke the no tank mates rule.Also have black gravel and dark blue background-broke those rules as well i guess.In any case,hes now in a tank by himself with white gravel and no background.Any suggestions on how to get his colors back?I added some blue marbles to the white gravel and another member on here advised me to put more color in the tank.Which I will-so I was thinking a green or red background would go well also.yes or no?I seen a few of you guys with red backgrounds so i may copy that.Can I leave the white gravel or just add other crazy colors to it?thanks for any input

Check the sticky.. JP gave you some input
 
he will probably color up just from getting away from the other fish. i had siblings together too long and the female grew quicker and kept beating on the male. he lost all his color until i put her in a different tank. it has been about two or three weeks now and he has more color and isn't hiding at all. color foods can help too.

Not bad at all. Put him in a lighter tank by himself like said, and that alone will make him.. :D
