ornate rainbows coloring

[Irukandjia]

I added 8 ornate rainbows to my established (5+ years) planted tank 10 days ago. I have no experience with them (I ordered them online with some other fish I couldn't find locally). All of the pictures I have seen have shown them with bright colors. Mine are silver and that's about it. Does anyone have experience with them? Will they get more color or is did I just get some dull fish?

In my experience with rainbows from red irians, turquoise, boesemani, and others, the color comes as they mature. I don't have any experience with ornates, but I'll bet they're similar.
