Most probably yes. I dont see why that fish wont attain its natural colors.
Its pale now because of stress. Look at where it was living before you caught it, and where it is now. If you provide the right parameters then it will definately regain its original colors.  |

Nikhil,
If you are looking for natives, you have to try the river. The irrigation canals and streams are full of tilapia. If you are lucky, you might get a snakehead in those streams.
Think we need another month for water level to reduce a bit and water to get a bit clear. |
