THEY DO NEED LOTS OF LIGHT!
its a good thing you asked here first
when they loose color it usually is a sign they are dieing

How strong of lighting do you need? I didnt get a good answer when I asked at my store.

You will probably want metal halides around 6-7 watts per gallpn for it to thrive. You could do PC's but ha;ides would be better. They also need pristine water quality.
