Soothing Shrimp Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Looks none the worse. Hopefully the fresh water will negate any ammonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Maybe the color is mostly carried on the Y chromosome? Pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wicca32 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 im thinking for mine to stay solid green i will prob have to find a darker substrate. when its on the sand or startled it gets the marble look to it. if its up off the sand say drift wood or glass it goes darker more solid green. a pleco friend of mine was telling me calico's came from the wild greens years ago and then from calico they started breeding the green dragon color back so some do tent to have a more marble look at times. i kinda like it now that i see it though. my long fin brown was like that i had too. he would get a marble look if he was on the sand. any who here are a couple pics i snagged last night if it. they are now buddies lol. and to top it off they were both in the bamboo together last night. sorry for the odd angle it was from behind the tank and off to the side lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
