They were already coloured up when they arrived (see pics at the beginning of this thread when we were acclimatising them in the actual bag they arrived in). Some are naturally paler than others though. Give them a few days in good water, with lots of hiding places and a good mix of foodstuffs and hopefully they will settle in.

I have two old-timers in my River Tank, which I had thought might have been a pair, after they whittled down their numbers from eight. But both are an overall dark purpley-grey colour (bands hardly visible) and look to be pretty plump. So now I'm thinking that maybe I have two females. I've tried for ages to look at their faces head-on for the puffed cheeks, but they are very shy and rarely out, so I haven't been able to. I'm in two minds as to whether to try adding another one or two, but would feel awful if the old ones gave them trouble.
Anyway, this evening I took a few more pictures of the new ones at the shop and thought I'd share them with everyone:
Close-up of the beautiful dorsal fin:
Pucker up:
Another close-up:
Hope you like them. I'm really pleased with the results I'm getting from my new camera.
