so i got my first german blue ram today i opted to just get one instead of a pair. I believe i got a male. In the tank at the lfs he was very colorful very bright, when i got him home i drip acclimated ( kept adding water to the bag for about a hr or maybe alittle longer). once i put him in my tank he seemed to just chill moving from spot to spot not paying any of my other fish any mind. but i noticed his colors have faded out is this just cause hes new will he brighten back up? my other fish consist of 8 pristella tetras, 6 cardinal tetras(thinking of adding a couple more), 4 corys(2 emerald and 2 julli), 1 albino bristlenose pleco. may add a dwarf gourami for the top of my tank later on but thats still yet to be decided.
this is in a 29g planted tank with a aquaclear 70. my tank is fully cycled and parameters is ammonia0 nitrites0 nitrates around 10. my ph satys at 7 i think and my temp is between 76 and 78. so what do you all think will my ram color back up and what exactly do they eat i bought some dried plankton and my dad gave me some frozen mysis shrimp and frozen bloodworms.
the pic of my tank is kinda old my plants have grown in a bit
