I got my rummys a week ago, all 11 are doing so well and I didn't loose a single one when I drip acclimated them. One has always had a white nose, until the past two days when he has gone a pinkish colour. It looks as if he doesn't have the possibility to go fully red, do some of them just not go as red as others?

It's as if the fish has not got as much pigment in its nose. It seems very healthy however.
 
does anyone know? lol
 
I've kept rummy's several times, never noticed a difference in the amount of red in their noses. They will let you know if something is amiss in your tank, they will fade in color. The fact that it's got more color in it's nose now than when you first put them in your tank is a good thing. I'd just keep an eye on him, if he seems sickly, remove and Q.
 
He is probably the strongest and fastest fish in the tank, think he just lacks pigment in his nose. I do love these fish!
