I have never experienced any colour change with red fish.
I find diet the key ie. shrimp and colour enhancing pellets do improve the red in my aros.
In my 15k I keep leptobarbus hoeveni (18 to 24") and tinfoil barbs (8 to 14") with my aros and no problems.

My guy is doing great and has grown to 27-28" In a 225 by himself eats all types of shrimp, snails, mackeral, herring...
