wow nice pics!! Based on those, i guess sp Ampah is one darned ugly fish!
Just kidding, but the Ampah has no coloration close to those, even in breeding colors

So Steff, you can see the differences how hard it is even to help you! Patience and wait to get to know your species. The areas of red really stand out, my Ampah has no red and compared it is dull anyway. The parvulus does have red and it does show well on the dominant male but never as bright as breeding… the sub male only gets grey on his lower half and fins, the dom male is black.. when they are sparing off….the sub? he just can’t compete yet.
