Jeniffer, your photo shows a young male. Its dorsal fin is quite short still, that must develop a longer filament, definitely. This means: Most of the fish of this shipment were very young indeed and it takes time to develop colours and maturity. So, Bill: patience! Paros need more time than most other fish.

I guess the one other you describe may be an older female. They often have broader stripes than the males.
