Firemouths with no fire?

[Topfish]

I've got 3 firemouths in my tank, 1 male, 2 female, along with a few other cichlids and some plecos, and over the last couple of days 2 of the firemouths 'red bits' have faded so the red colouring is now only faintly visible.

One of them is still behaving as normal but the other seems to be very innactive.

Any ideas whats going on :?:

Firemouths do this quite a bit when they are small. Fade in and out. Don't worry about it. The inactiveness is a bit strange though. Have you checked your water condiitons?
