I bought my little wild caught aimara at around 4.5" now that he is settled in and about 8" -9" I noticed along with his attitude and personality he has developed red fins! I have had numerous aimara before but never one that had red fins. Is this species specific? Collection point specific? Any input would be great. Lights are just led 6000k he's in a 180 by himself killing massivore.

I've never seen one with red fins either,where did you get it from?
 
It's not uncommon to show red in smaller aimara.
Some random local specific pictures and 2 of my previous from Suriname.

So maybe it's location related. I got him at a good quality lfs along with my bagarius rutilus. He said that batch were the nicest aimara he has seen. He had 6 of them. Looks like he was right.

Could be. More likely just juvenile coloration.

Any updates?
