Assuming the water quality is ideal and the diet is excellent, its not unheard of. It will likely turn a shade of yellow/pale orange. I believe your still feeding them whatever stuff your lfs is creating?

Yes I'm just using the rest if it up I still haven't bee in their to get nutrition facts yet... Probably within the week.

And should I do a 50-70% water exchange?

Water changes are always a good idea but my guess is he needs a better diet.
