Post tank transition

[BHead707]

so i moved my fish from their old ten gallon to a new 20G long,
i tried to move them with the least amount of stress possible, but now its seems that some of them have lost alot of their color, it occurred almost immediately after i moved them and its only been a day and they still dont have much color back. is this normal? or did i do something wrong

-Thanks

well anything, they are getting a little clor back as time goes by, but im still wondering if this is why they lost the color

Fish can loose/dull their colors when stressed. It will come back when they feel more comfortable in their new environment. I know with my black skirts they are very dull/grey when stressed. I've even noticed that, when at the bottom of the tank in lots of plants, they are really black then at the top of the tank, in the open, they are duller in color.
