Is this a Green Spot?

Post by 3bdesigns »

Is there such a thing? He's in the bag still - so sorry for the color being off.

He's a grey-ish green (kinda like murky water color). His fins are sort of translucent in places with a yellow cast to them. His spots are actually a light blue or maybe a light green. In my tank (where he is now) the look more blueish than green. He's about 4" long.

Any ideas?

If I'm correct the Greens do turn blue. It might be the other way around though.

L200 - Green Phantom

I think the blue version, L128, is a different fish from a different section of the river.

I would agree. I think they green has more yellow in the body, where the Blue has green.

I'd tend to agree with Dave, although it's hard to tell from the pics.
