Tony,

I haven't had any trouble keeping them in most of their color with a diet of
frozen mysid, krill and spirulina (or most fish for that matter). Temp
seems to matter above 78 degrees F, but as soon as the system cools back
down to 76 or below, they redden right back up. Granted, it's not spawning
intensity, but the yellow is visible in the finage and the red stripe is
consistent, not spotty.
