Green Severn Fish Changes Colours?

Question

My Green severn fish changes colours, same with my jack dempsey, is there a problem?

Answer 1

depends on the color change type, if they get lighter and lose some color its likely they are stressed due to either water quality,overstock, or no hiding places in tank. another possibility is they are both males, male cichlids change/get more color as they grow mature as where females dont as much.

Answer 2

Depends what colour they are changing to. Most fish display their colours by mood or will lose their colours when sick or scared.

Answer 3

changes in shades tells the mood of the fish in most cichlids

darker colors are a sign of stress lighter colors not pale is a sign of a happy fish a pale look indicats a problem like lack of air if thease 2 fish are in the same tank then they could be telling the other one to back off and leave them alone most color shanges are perfectly normal
