he's posting it as an albino, so I will guess that they are either dyed or fed lots of astaxanthin.
and it can be yours for just $999999999999.00!

Can you say HORMONES this fish has been juiced and is not natural

My friend breeds these guys, with the right camera settings his look like this too. He calls them Strawberry, Dragonblood or Fire Peacocks depending on the color breeding. His strawberry ones are hot pink, almost neon pink looking. He sells them for $75-$150 each at 3-4 inches, his are not dyed or fed hormones or anything, it's just how they are. I'll stop by his house and take a few pics today of his, I can't say this one is not retouched in the photo a tad but I know he breeds his to be this colorful.

@catfishluver If you have a high quality camera and understand the effects of lighting, shutter speed and different filters to suit the lighting, and can still keep the shutter speed high enough to not blurr the pic....It is possible to get a pic that good.
I used to have a rebel eos and i could take pics like that all day if i still had it.
If you notice, he has the specimin in a tank with very light colors (white substrate) which strongly contrasts the colors of the fish as well as not darkening the tank, and very bright lighting which would allow for a very fast shutter speed to capture the pic with no blurr from fish movement or shakey hands. And on top of that you can use filters on the lens to suit the lighting and give even more contrast.


Anyway just thought i'd throw that out there for those that may be interested.
Kinda makes me want my rebel back lol.

yeah i would think superior camera and camera man over photo shop

I have seen them in my local fish store labeled as strawberry peacocks. The guy ststes that is their natural color. Some are sort of purple and an orange color. Very expensive and I only keep a large Amazonian set up at the moment so I passed on these Africans. Stunning fish nonetheless.

Thats a nice looking dragons blood!

 

[Lusus_Naturae]

photos 1 and 3 - male dragonsblood
photo 2 - albino OB
photo 3 - albino ruby male
photo 4- albino ruby female

Photos taken on point and shoot mode with no editing - hence the slight blur to them because I didn't have time to set up the camera, clean the glass, or anything else. Not my fish, these are fish a friend has, breeds, and sells.

I did have to size down the photos in order to post though.
