It's a little tough to guess. You didn't mention the strain you bought, how much you paid (an indicator of the strain), and you didn't post a pic. Here's a couple of shots of a juvie and adult reds of different strains.
mine were 14 dollars a piece and right now they are a light silver with black spotting and some red in their gills and behind their eyes...
At that price, they're most likely not going to develop much red in them. The reds in my lower pic run a couple hundred bucks each and even those aren't full reds. As far as I've been able to find out, the so-called full reds from asia are hormone treated and will fade in 6 months. The european strains being developed are the only true reds I've seen to date. And, the more solid red strains haven't made it to the US yet.
