Nice RDs. Does anyone if the name labiatus has anything to do with their lips???

and Midas is Citrinellus, which I think is the latin form of κίτρινος (Kitrinos) which is greek for yellow.

If someone was fluent in latin then they could probably learn alot about fish just from their names. the red devils are the only ones who get the big lips, and even so not all of them develop them, its mostly the wild caught ones that do. great looking RD's though!

Here is my big 13" male. Pictures arent that great. :(




he fought alot huh? Why his lips missing the arrow in the middle?

Are these big lipped ones all wilds? I heard only wilds have big lips. Don't know if that's true. imo I think it's genetic.

thanks for sharing
