Thank you guys for these visuals. This is great. Some bowfins have this pronounced reticulated cool pattern! I wonder if it is geography/genetics. Ours were like the two of the drabbest in the DrownedFish's pics above. The green is totally awesome but can't be aimed at or counted on as this is the breeding, transient color, it will not keep. Kind of the same as Chinese High Fin shark/loach get intense red/purple for the breeding, then back into the drab oblivion
Is Rehoboth Aquatics still owned and run by Toyin? The Africa specialist? (I bought fish from him back in 2015.) If so, when did he switch/augment with the USA natives?
