man... what are you feeding them?
everyday that i look at my rods onyx i get a little more sure that the color between 2nd and 3rd will never come... although sometimes i feel like it looks thicker than usual, it definitely hasnt grown more than a mm or two since a couple months ago... hes gotten darker all around and has grown his third stripe since feb when i got him but so far no luck on the black between 2nd and 3rd bars or on the top fin...

You are not the first that has asked that question! I feed them 1 cube of San Francisco brand Marine Cuisine every day with a few drops of garlic. Every other day I include a little bit of Cyclo-peeze in the mixture. The most important part though is I feed them a little bit at the time. It can take me up to three hours to feed the entire mixture. I do this for two reasons, one it helps me lower the chance of over feeding my tank and two the fish eat longer and more when I do. I must say Lucy and Ricky are little pigs!

Man those look great! Beautiful fish.
Thanks for the compliment embryo! If it weren't for you and a couple of other Onyx lovers I would have never considered buying an Onyx and would not have known how to properly care for them! I really hate that you lost the Jigsaw and hope it finally gives you a reason to personally fly out and pick a couple of babies out yourself...

I ask him the same question about feeding! Mine had very thin black lines between 2 & 3 when I got him too in Feb just like yours R00on
I started feeding little bits over a 2 hour period and mine started developing black alot faster! I really have no clue if it was because of the feeding regim or just his time to start coloring up... but he is.
