I hope you forgive me some more bad pictures ……… I have to take photographs while I feed the fish, to have them near to the front pane instead of keeping in the darker background. So there are a lot of reflecting artemia and glass worms … I’m sorry for that.
But I would like to show you the colours he is beginning to show or which in my opinion seem to deepen.
Here first another picture that shows the pattern in the tail fin, a bit softer this time:
You have to look real close, I hope you see what I see: The dark rounded pattern at the base of the tail fin is a deep chestnut red. So are the dorsal and the anal fin, they both have a dark, almost black outer border with a white seam. The pelvic fins start to show an emerald green.
The unpaired fins have a real strong crystalline gloss, like glass. Here it is rather obvious:
I know that the pictures are unsufficient – but I believe to see very much red colouration, and hope I can transfer this impression.
