I dont think they're stressed because thats how they looked at the warehouse. When I first put them in my QT tank they lightened up a lot and had their fins clamped and looked like a typical stressed cons. The next day they settled in and went back to their normal colors. Stress still wouldnt explain how their stripes are jagged and misaligned. My guess is they came from a highly inbred family which caused a slightly different mutation which is why they have the horizontal stripe and jagged/misaligned vertical stripes.
Those cons that had the gold outline were ones showing a different color mutation possibly just like these are.
