Cichlid Is Changing Colour!?

[QHowes]

Hey there...(Wow been a few years since i was here last) I have a question from a friend of mine who has a cichlid that was bright yellow and now is moving sluggish and is turning blue. any ideas?

By the way...IT FEELS GOOD TO BE BACK!

Its a male getting his color. for example Chipokaes are all yellow to begin with then the males turn blue while females stay yellow the same goes for saulosi now Msobo the males are orange for a long time till they start turning their mating colors i have had 2 for almost 6 months and they are slowly starting to show signs of blue. hope this helps
