Should I get one?

I was at a LFS recently, and saw that they had a bunch of 3-4in severums. Now I have been really wanting a Severus notatus (the spotted species), and as I was looking at the tank I noticed quite a few of them were far, far more spotted than any severums I have ever seen in person. I got excited thinking they might be Notatus, but I kind of doubted that this LFS would have Notatus. I asked the sales lady and she said they were all from the same batch, even though many looked completely different from one another, and that they were a cross of Rokteil severum and a Red severum (I think - know for sure one half was Rokteil). Some were every bit as spotted as Notatus pics I have seen, but the spots were dark red instead of black.

So, should I get one of the really spotted ones, or wait on a Notatus? Anyone know what this cross might look like as adults? BTW I am not planning to breed severums, so I don't really care that it is not pure, if it will look as nice as the Notatus. I just wanted a single Notatus because I think they are so beautiful.

The spotted ones looked a lot like the pic below I found online, except that the base color was darker, almost turquise-y.

To be clear, I know the fish in the picture is not the same kind as I saw at the store, I was just using it as an example of how spotted the fish I saw were. The ones I saw were not Green Severum, they were half Roktiel, half super red severum. I was just curious if that cross would keep its spots as an adult. They are gorgeous as 3-4 inchers.

Yeah, I didnt grab a picture, but when I go back Ill try to get a pic. I guess I was wondering if anyone has had Rokteil severums cross with any of the etasctiatus and knew what they turn out like.

Yeah, I got the impression someone local bred that batch, but they could have been BSing a wholesale batch... they do get a lot of trade ins there though.

I went back to the the LFS and confirmed with them that this was a batch bred and raised by someone local. They are a cross between a Roktiel severum and a Red Spotted Severum. I ended up buying one because they were only $6 and really are fairly unique looking. I'll try to post a picture. It's body sort of olive colored, with burgundy spots, a bluey-turquoise face and dorsal fin, and rust red anal fin. Really pretty.
