in the tank at the shop there were prob more lombardoi and he had something to show his colours off to  (competing with another male for top spot or showing off to a girl).<
><
>now there is no more of his kind around he has no reason to colour up.....he will eventually but  if you want him to colour up put a smaller male in or a female.<

><
>its starting to get a bit of orange back but still not as good as in the shop<
><
>hes not real keen on putting females in as its an all male tank n he put wat was sposed to be a male hongi in and it got a mouthful with no other hongis in the tank<
><
>thanks for your help guys... i guess he''ll just have to wait it out<

>damo

They were prolly also feeding it whitecrane crap at the store to
ing out his color

He still would of retained his colouration if it was artificially fed colour enhancing foods, yet I couldn''t see the need to go to such expense just for a Lombardi!<
