I've been bummed the last few days. This guy was selling his bright yellow yumas and they looked amazing. Nothing looked altered in his pictures. Got the yuma, and it was pissed off, but still bright yellow the first day. By the second day, it changed to a bright orange. I've read something in passing that this is typical for yumas that weren't getting much light. Yellows will turn to orange. He had his yumas in low leds. I have mine under T5s and MHs, bottom of the tank, tucked a little back in a cave. Safe to say he wasn't actually selling yellow yumas, but orange yumas? These LEDs make buying stuff a PITA.
 
Also, I've been dosing BW Coral Color, but have been debating on stopping. Not sure if that would have any effect on color. It seems more like it would be related to light.
