i think they were showing more color before the sand change.
Hi i only did the sand change a few days ago. their colors are coming in deeper n show better bit by bit.. everyday actually... thanks for looking....

a week ago i did something stupid and bought egg crates but theonly ones available were the silver ones... i was not thinking about the silver particles in the water... so the tank got super dirty and the eg crates slowly lost the silver and the fish stopped eating all my dovii growouts died... i took them out and put them in another tank gravel vaced the tank did water changes.. When i put them back in it took them a few days to recover then they started slowly begging for food again... (beware of the metallic egg crates lol) will keep up pics as they get there color back.. and most of the color in previous pics were from the red gravel... thanks

wow. yours look good! I still haven't posted up any pics because of the crazy algae problem in my 10g growout tank. But mine don't come close to yours! whats the size on them right now?
