Just bought two red jewel cichlids yesterday. At the store they were the brightest i've ever seen. Today not so much.
They are only 1 1/2 inches currently. I'm hoping they color up soon but was wondering if there was something i could do to help them along. Also was wondering if my lighting is different than at the store. I have two florescent lights, one floremax and one a full spectrum.
Feed them last night and they seemed to brighten alot but then faded soon after. They are the only ones in my 45gal.
Ive added aqarium salt and feed them hikari cichlid staple pellets.
Tank parimeters are:
ammonia 0
nitite 0
ph 7.6
78°f
nitrate 20
Any info would help. Thanks
