I think this fish looked good even while in qt. Second pics was after a few days in the tank.

Sbould have added this in the opening post. But i feel like lighting has a pretty decent affect on how they appear too. Also maybe somethin i never payed attention to but their colors changed with moods allot more on the garnet. Could be that inwas just paying attention more at the time.
