    Just recently picked up a pair of clowns from the LFS and noticed the orange isnt very strong on them then my last pair I had in my old tank. Will they always stay this color or do they get more color as they get older??

    they tend to get darker as they get older. Feeding nutritious foods and soaking food overnight in a vitamin supplement, such as Selcon may help though.
