bro, some ornates are generally pale. i got two ornates but their color is not the same. one has a nice contrast of bright yellow and black while the other has a faded color. its been almost four months since i have them, their colors still remain the same. no changes at all just the size lol.

That's depends on what food you feed them. It's usually the substrates that affects their color.
I find that my fish look too dark on black gravel.. I have a natural gravel now and they all look awesome. I did have 2 ornates at one point and one was really pretty and the other was washed out.. I think theres not too much you can do to change it.
At one time I had switched my bichirs from mainly market shrimp to nothing but hikari gold floating and sinking types. Even with all that axanthin, the only difference I noticed was that my CB endlies were got slightly more of a redish/peach color, but all the other species I had at the time were not affected.
