Barred Citrinellus Transformed

[flowerpower]

I always knew that Cits came in some striking color morphs but when I got this barred male in May, I expected him to stay that way. Right after his first spawn he started to peal and slowly transformed into what I guess would be considered 'piebald'. Since this color change is still in progress, I thought I'd start a thread to document it. Enjoy!

Indeed.

Pissed??? I'd be ecstatic. I think he looks awesome. If you're not happy with him by all means, send him my way.

Keep updating, it'll be interesting to see just how much he'll fade..

Try putting him in a tank by himself.

Is that his girl in the background of the 3rd pic? Any chance to see some photos of her?
