Yes, Helene, I have watched your video of your displaying nagyi and was completely taken with the beauty of them – it was that video that really made me see the beauty of the paros! And, the images I posted from the video (daylight fluorescent lighting from above) show the fins as much more solid blue. It does appear that the light source and angle of lighting can render the metallic bands to slightly different colors as shown in some of the other photos taken with the camera – sometimes golden bronze, sometimes lime green – but overall the fins do appear to be blue-green. I include another video (see below) with both daylight overhead lighting and a halogen light into the front of the tank to give a mix of cool and warm lighting and the colors can be seen from differing angles as well. If I have lucked out by getting ‘Cherating’ then ~ 🙂 These really are such fascinating animals.
