Question
Ron,
I have a pair of Convicts and noticed that they look so pale now. Ive never seen Convicts look this way. They lost their color and i would like to know what causes them to lose color and what i must do about it. I moved the pair into another tank and i have the frys in a separate tank.

Answer
Hi Sueanne,
  They loose their color when they are not interested in breeding.  They will color up again when they are interested in breeding again.
