I was in one of my LFS today and they had a rhom they just labeled as a black it was about 8" but when light hit it it almost had a blue hu to him i have seen pics of blues before but i was wondering if it it jsut a color variant or is there a distinctive body feture to help id (he was in a tank VERY small and would not come out of the back and he was on the bottom shelf,gournd level)
if anyone knows how to distinguish i would like to know b/c if it was a blue not just the light hitting him funny i would pick him up

every rhom i have ever seen has a hint of blue to them... blue rhom is just a fancy name given--

it is just a slight color variation. as said above...all rhoms have some blue, but it's a little more prominent in the "blue rhoms".

it was alright, they have a nice display of fishes from different parts of the world. i like the native display the most. the pygo tanks could use some aquascaping. Also had live dolphin/whale shows.
