Purple Death Palys
Wondering if any one has any advice here. I purchased a Purple Death frag about 2-3 months ago. They are growing well and I occasionally feed them pellets. Only one problem... they are brown. Currently in a low flow area with medium to low lighting half way down my tank.
Did I just get ripped off with some brown palys or is this normal?

My iPhone camera actually makes them look more purple than they are haha. Dam it iPhone you see better than I do!
 I think taking this picture confirms they are Purple Deaths. Any advise on getting them to color up or just be patient?

I also recently purchased some locally. I put mine in medium to high light. They seem to be doing well. I'm not amazed by the colour though, but that's probably because of my lack of lighting spectrum...

What kind of lights do you have? I thought they liked low lighting but perhaps im wrong.

My pink and gold paly need a lot of light to be really colorful. If they are at the bottom of the tank they are just plain brown, but when I put them right under the metal halide they take a very beautiful gold center with pink skirt.
Palythoas need a lot of light in general. brown = not enough light Quote:

quite possible i had around 10 different kinds that looked like that , the worst thing about them is they are hard to get a solid photograph of because of the pink mixed with purple , i used up all my resources trying to find pink dalmations as they use to be my favorite for people eaters and i bought so many look alikes and every time i was like " yes..finally" lol
