How long will it take for Bolivian cichlids to get their color back after being negle

i know a lot of people on this site say that they have trouble with their gbr's and gouramis . i haven't had any problems with mine. i attribute that to getting good stock. i live close to a fish store called That Fish Place in Lancaster, Pa. they have really healthy stock. i keep them in a community tank with other peaceful fish. regular ph, temp around 80. i also feed live black worms. i believe that live food really helps keep fish heaalthy. my salvini is about 3 1/2-4 inches. is not aggressive. i have a 55 gal coffee table aquarium that's 56" long. lots of forward swimming room. cuts way down on aggression.

That's awesome. Not seen one before, but i'm in the uk. We'll probably catch up eventually, like with most things!

yeah i love the tank. i've had it set up for about 3 1/2 years. it's only about 12" high so i can't keep any deep bodied fish like angels of discus but other then that it's all good. i do a 15 gal. water change every 3 days and vacuum 1-2 times a week. i use the bucket method for water changes. works great. no water on the floor. it's also easy to take care of my plants.

Yep, and I'm hoping for a breeding pair.
