I would get pictures, i see your from wiscosin what part. Also It could be your color, or its maturing
Bullying could be a culperate also bad water quality, diet, maybe was in breeding colors ( Though even when not they are still amazingly stunning). I have never seen a drab Salvini. Maybe it's weak gene's for color and can't produce. It is probably stress. Although when Salvini get stressed their colors intensify. I call this the Dinosaur phase because to me they look like Dinosaurs lol well at least my big male does. Bullying I don't think is a problem with salvini as if they aren't dominant they will kill anything to become the dominant one, but there is always exceptions in nature and you might have one.
Yes it is and was acting the same and I think its the boss other than my JD but JD is on the other side of the divider.SMS;1074846; said:
I dont think it water and diet consist of pellets and feed shrimp once a weekCross127;1074979; said:
You can ask all of your questions in a single post then post it. Each question doesnt need its own post. Anyways, i would suggest you try to feed it some krill, cyclopeeze, and earthworms to try and bring out some colors. Btw what kind of pellets are you currently using?
