My red cherries arent that red...

Post by JoshGuppy »

Hey guys, long time no post.
Right now i have about 40red cherries in my tank, some of my first have already died, but i have many many babies.

Water is room temp, about 78F, and I feed them regularly, but my females dont have much red for some reason.... theyre spotted a bit but mostly transperant.... is this bad?

The color of Red Cherries can vary according to water parameters, food, mood, lighting, substrate etc. It can even vary from individual to individual. If *all* of your Red Cherries are not showing much coloration at all, then I would look at factors that are affecting your water quality or stressing them out somehow. Maybe too much food? Too few water changes? Too much water change every time...etc...etc...
