Whats the best way to bring a bolivian rams color out? The diet is:

flake food x1 daily
Frozen Brine shrimp x2 weekly
Frozen Blood and/or blackworms x1 weekly
Fresh Vegetables x4 weekly

They get fed twice daily

The tanks parameters:
Ammonia and nitrite 0
nitrate 20
pH 7.6
temp 80 F

Fish are 2 bolivian rams and 4 danios (next week will have more danios)

try getting the nitrates down, rams can be a little sensative and water quality can play a part in this.

have you tried giving them some algea wafers and cichlid pelets every once and a while?

well i got them yesterday, that was my planned diet :P

I have algae wafers and shrimp pellets that are for cichlids. Where should i fit those on the diet?

Gonna do a water change right now

I turned the heater up 2 degrees. Probably by tommorow it will be all good.
