Default Auratus change colour

Hi all;
I have this auratus that I purchased a while ago. When I got him, he
was this beautiful yellow and black. Over the past few months he has
changed colours. The yellow totally discovered and the fish turned totally
brown. Now I can see him turn BLUE?!?!?!? Is this normal???

Thanks

You have a male for sure, but they don't all necessarily get mean. I
have three males about 3 inches each in a 120 with a multiple other
fish. The others keep them too busy to worry about each other. I
just threw in what I hope will turn into 6 females. If you are in
Toronto, and don't want these fish, let me know!
