    Depends if it's a male or not.
    Female will remain the drab brown colour.
    Also, if there is a male and female together, this will increase the male's colouration.

    Is this the only one you have?

    I have another one, i rescued an albino from a lfs, he's half blind, one eye was taken out by another fish... he had it in a tank with predator fish and I was told he was waiting for him to be "chomped"- his words... So I asked how much he was and I brought him home...

    How do you sex a compressicep?

    He has an orange glaze on the top of his fin...41687d77a22b0f849b88ca369a3fa6ec.jpg068e554302972dcb26c121ebb30c01e2.jpg
