What can influence my gts colors

[Irbanjaxed]

is there any thing else i can do to enhance my gts colors?

High quality lighting will bring out the blues and greens.

High quality diet (omega one, NLS, krill, shrimp, etc) will bring out oranges.

Clean water (large weekly water changes) will bring out both colors, as the fish will be less physically stressed.

they have fry will a large water change be harmful?

Only if you have not been doing them regularly. If you have not, I would start out small, like 10%, and build your way up from there.

i keep a 24in light in my 90 this makes the take appear lite and dark since gts natural habitat includes lily pads and murky water it def gives the tank a great affect

25-30 is still a good amount, I wouldn't worry about that then. Lighting plays a huge role though, I like actinic to bring out blues.

Are you trying to get better blues/greens, or oranges?
