The thing that concerns me here is their size versus age ratio. 4 cm is less than 2 " size . That's a size a 2 month discus should reach .
At 4 months they should be rather twice as big as they are now.
Your shrimps and BH feeding is perfect Combo for growing juvvies . Just feed them at least 3-4 times and change water daily and they should colour up nicely on this food alone .
Grinded frozen salmon fish is great natural color enchancer too , so you can feed them that too , on occasions .
Feed more and change water more , to get the best growth and vigour out of them , and the colour will come along naturally as they grow.
