i used to do all my tanks in sunlight as my lighting.
no lights on the tank,just sunlight.
and algae was the problem...
i had to use a pleco or constantly clean the glass....
 
OOOO I see, thanks for the info channarox!
 
Light's, diet, and just genes. Oh yea water quality also plays a big role. I don't feed my Cichla pellet's ( not that I haven't tried) shrimp is there main staple. Try frozen krill. What type light are you using currently? I use a T5 on my 150g and it does seem to make the colors pop! But I feed feeders daily for grow out's (55g & 150g) and twice a month on my 240g.
 
well as of tomorrow there will be a pack of 8 orino baby bad boys in my 110 running eheim 2217 classic straight sponge and bio ceramics that tank never did me wrong hoping to get the pack on hikari gold or something like that my 2 wild occels eat nothing but live im also going to use a coralite just one down the center of the tank a few hrs a day not to long and see what happens
 
Maintain good water quailty! Water changes often! A good mixed diet! But for me as soon as they got on a mainly pellet diet the colors came in quick! But please don't starve your fish!!!
 
personally it is diet but more importantly it is your water chemistry
