i have a question about freshwater tiger barbs.

i have noticed that one of the tiger barbs is getting a very orange-ish nose and fins. what is this. i have had him for a few weeks now and the other barb that i have looks perfectly fine......any help on this? before submitting this, i just went over and looked at him/her and the fins have streaks of orange and the head is rather orange-ish. very noticeable orange....looks cool but could this be a problem?
 
breedind colors as the way hes supposed to look or "mating" colors? sorry for the rookie question but kind had me worried. also,,,will the other tiger barb go to that color as well?

thank you for your help muppet!!
 
dont worry about the rookie questions.. we are all new to things at one time.
yes the other males should also become brighter coloured
 
Just noticed that my Tigers all have orange noses and fins; were somewhat orange but now are ORANGE!!!
 
when i first got my barbs they were normal colors. but when they started getting settled and growing up and getting thier school together. the got thier color. its nothing to worry about it just happens to them as they get older..
