to breed so I bred him to an opaque female. The batch was rather small and as the fish were coloring up they looked rather pale. I culled quite a few of them that never really developed correctly. When a flashlight is shone upon the fish the body reflects steel blue iridesence throughout. The fins are red with butterfly pattern showing through. An opaque sheen can be seen covering most of the fish. I currently have a pair of these in a breeding tank. The females vertical stripes contrast nicely. The outcome of this should be interesting! Anyone care to guess at that batch?
