Question
3 weeks ago ive introduce two pair of peacocks wer in 2 are female. one is an ob peacock male another is a blue male. since past few days the males have completely lost there peacock blue color. and that peacock blue color turned into black. that might be the reason?
but other male cichilids are brightly colored.

Answer
Hi Manish,
  Cichlids change color for all sorts of reasons. They use color to demonstrate their territoriality and their aggression and dominance towards other individuals, as well as to attract the opposite sex.
