Not quite settled after moving

The Yeast family have all moved out to a bigger place. Since I'll need to scale up the yeast starter in order to achieve a decent volume when the time comes to pitch, I've transferred them to a 5 liter jug.

This morning, they looked just fine.

After aeration
However, when left unattended, the head seems to subside somewhat, and turn a not-quite-so-pleasant off-beige color.


I'm not sure what's causing this, but it could just be that the yeast is slowing down for lack of oxygen. Carbonation has almost completely halted, so it looks like it's gone back to sleep.

Not sure how to take it from here, but it's clear that I need to do something.
