Green Severum

My green severum has turned almost completely black and very rarely shows his real coloring. He is in a tank with a gold severum that is a little bit bigger then him but not anywhere near full grown. Any ideas on why his coloring has changed? The picture is the best he has come to his real coloring in the 4 weeks I have had him.

What size tank is he in? Is he being bullied?

He is in a 29 gallon. I have seen the gold severum chase him but he is usually hiding.

Well, part of the problem is that the tank is far too small for them. They'll need a 55 at least. He's probably hiding because the Gold is always chasing him. There isn't enough room for him to get away.

Do their colors change due to stress?

Yes, they will usually get a washed out look when they're stressed.
