Brightening up convicts

The colour may become better as they age and mature.
But what do you have to lose by trying other foods? It seems to be working
for other fish, and a single item diet is never a good idea in long range
maintenance.

My convict cichlids that were born on February 7th are brown instead of
green. Both parents are green with black stripes. Is there some food I
can
feed them to make them prettier? What do you suggest? At the moment I'm
only feeding them Wardley's Cichlid flake food. I had the same problem
with
my blue gouramis so I bought them f-d tubifex worms and bloodworms and
they're becoming more blue.
