I've recently added 4 Elongate Mbuna to my tank and its been 4 days now, the fishes seem to be doing great in the tank, but they still haven't gotten back their colours yet, 2 of the 4 are very pale while the other two (smaller ones) have darkened up, anything I can do to help them? They are eating a lot and seem to be chasing other fishes around, but their colours are still very pale.
 
It can take up to a couple of weeks for new fish to completly settle in.

To make sure it's nothing more than just being new additions could you answer a few pf the following?

Tank size

Tank mates

decor (light sand and rocks, or dark, they can make a difference in coloring)

type of food

Ammonia/Nitrite/PH

Size of fish
