I have 4 Boesemani Rainbows in my 55 gal long. 2 males and 2 females. I've had them for about 8 months, and the largest male is 3 to 4 inches. Here's the thing. When the lights first come on, their colors are amazing. Deep orange tails and dark purple (almost black) heads. Throughout the day their colors fade until their heads are silver and the orange in their tails is very pale. Is this normal? They seem very healthy, and they have always done this.
