they mature faster in a big tank and coloring has to do with several factors.
first the younger the fish the less color.
make them happy, give them something to hide in to calm there nerves.
do water changes religiously every week at least 25%.
males have more color than females.
i keep all my tanks at 78 degrees.
but anywhere from 76 to 80 i think should be fine.
mine seem to change colors sometimes if they get scared.
for instance i had 1 female in a 55gal that had a scean on the back i decided to change it one day and when i removed it she totaly changed from her dark color to almost white instantly.
not sure if i answered you question.
anyone else want to pitch in??
