No matter how good a shop may seem, a lot of fish in a lot of shops are treated with hormones that bring out a lot of colouring.....which isn`t actually there (if that makes sense) so don`t be surprised if your new additions don`t colour up very much at all

After adding the fish to the tank, leave the lights off for a while and give them a few days to investigate and get used to their new surroundings. Don`t spend too much time around the tank for the first couple of days, then bit by bit stay a bit longer when you feed them until they begin to associate you with food. Fingers crossed they`ll begin to colour up for you once they`re comfortable and feel happier and more secure

The 1st/3rd/5th pics of your fish look like females to me so i doubt u will get much colour from them. Do you want these fish to be ID'ed for you? or do you no what fish they are?
