I just bought 4 glow lights and the smallest one does not have coloration in his dorsal fin. Just wondering if it is because he is a baby or should I be worried? The two other small ones seem to bully him a little, they could just be playing not sure. Any insight would be nice....:confused1:

Probably because of size/age. My cardinals did not color up until they got older/bigger.

It is possible there are too few in the group and he is stressed from being the low man on the totem poll. A few more could help if this were the case. I would watch for awhile and see how he interacts with the group and make sure he isn't being harassed too much.

I am watching them like a hawk, this it's a new tank and I used a half of a bottle of top fin bacteria which caused a huge white slim out break. I don't recommend using that btw...

The day after I responded he got his color lol. I have never seen a mid level fish eat so much sinking pellets. My corydoras and dwarf frog better step up their game.
