Changing Colour

I have some Pentazona barbs or Five banded barbs. Not sure which is most common name. Anyway, they are still quite young and small. In the group I have 2 males. Both in the last couple of days have become alot redder almost scarlet. Is this maturity or a sign they ready to breed or both? Jen

Its probably mainly to show off, yesterday i introduced 8 juevinile odessa barbs to my 33G, in the fish store they were all pale, like females, but once they got into the 33G out of quarantine, the males all put on there red and grey/black colours to impress the females

That is a sign their getting ready to breed. The males may start to shimmy and display for the females.
