Hey folks!

I came home from work (24hr shift) and turned on my light on my tank and I noticed that my clow s colors looked dull before the light came on. I turned the light in and tested my parameters. Parameters were good. They haven't budged. Just did a water change 2 days ago. I did feed them and they ate like crazy. Their color seemed to get instantly better with light and food?

Has anyone else experienced this? (Also there is some bullying as they are fighting for gender)

Clowns color can change for multiple reasons including food, stress, and health. What are you feeding them? Are they both faded an equal amount?

I'm not sure what you are feeding them - if you want to bring out their colors even more and feed them quality food that will also increase their health then I encourage you to consider TDO Chroma Boost from @Reef Nutrition. This is the food that many clownfish breeders use as well as many others that want to give their clowns high quality feed. Good luck!
