Which way will you be going into Lafayette? I'll meet you somewhere if it's too far out of the way for you to stop by.
 
Stop derailing my thread Levi. Delete your post! LOL

this is what the Aqualog author is calling the 'Gold Dust', one of the two specimens shown in the Aqualog book. i don't know if this is the fish actual color. the reflection from the reddish brown bottom might have caused it to look more purplish than it actually is. who knows. although the description does mention a light violet color.

as for pics of buettikoferi, there are various pics on mfk, and ewurm posted some pics too of the new one he got.

That a cool photo, mine doesn't have any purple.
 
Ah i see how the two differ. That one looks a light violet on top with a light sprinkling of "gold dust"
