Ok, last night i bought some rummys to go with my discus.
They are doing great but their red color on their head is not really showing. :(
But, it is known that the temp the rummy likes is for 70-99F*.
but, the discus is 82-88F*.
What should i do ?
thanks
PS: i also have a silver moonlight gourami and a red dwarf gourami.

They are probably still stressed out from the transport.

Give 'em a day or two to get comfortable in their new surroundings and new water chemistry.  I'm sure they'll brighten up.

That's one of the things about Rummys. If they are stressed or the water isn't great, they "tell" us by not being bright. Give them a couple of days, and do a waterchange in the meantime.

Also, there are 2 kinds of fish that are sold as Rummynose Tetras. One of them gets a little brighter in the face than the other.
