Ma xiong

oh does it depend on the temperature of the water too

Ma xiong

Hard to say when. Genetics play a factor as well as water temp and food.

Ma xiong

well i feed then different varieties of flake foods
freeze dried brine shrimp and the temperatures probably like 67-8

Ma xiong

well i got them from my uncle
and the male is red with a spotted tail
and the female is red tail

should show signs of color around 6-8 weeks. full color development could take a couple months from that point

Ma xiong

its been almost 7 weeks no color yet
i think i should put them in the tank
cuz rite now i'm raising them in a bowl
probablky 1 gallon or .5 gallon

I had endlers born on Oct.3-6 and they got their colors in December so about 2-3 months. The males will get a slight color and over the next week or so it gets darker. It's like a little surpise as they all color up differently.
