It means your tank has intense lights. That's what makes the E.tenellus turns reddish.

That's a relief. I thought it was some nutrient deficiency. Thanks!

according to WR, that's a good sign, meaning they are receiving ample light

bro.. check ur tank temp? from my experience, if water temp too high also not good, its wil be very slow in grow rate.

Mine about 27degree Temp, regular nutrients and CO2 with high light, growing well for some times, then it stunned. I'm curious if too jam packed gravel will have any impact.

stunned?
