Those GTs are amazing Modest Man, I have only seen a male GT over 12" but sadly it was greatly disfigured(probably from being in a small tank or something) so I didn't buy it.

Wow Vanilla...thought from your previous pics that your fish was bigger than that. That will be a monster GT someday for sure.
 
Hey Vanilla, is that a balloon GT by any chance? Considering the size (appx 6"), the proportions are off to me. Sweet GT btw.
 
maybe someone can enlighten me , what are the different names for different fin colors like the orange ,and white mine looks almost yellow, "saum" does that designate fin color thank you in advance P.S.
i see that some avatars are animated,

Welcome to the site Davey!

When it comes to color variations, there are Gold Saums (color can vary from yellow/gold, to orange/red hues) and White Saums (most times it's silvery white, but I've seen some that were more opaque).

So yours would be a gold saum.

There are also True Green Terrors, which have no saum (german for 'seam') color at all.

HTH
 
Heres my 3 inch female gold saum. Does the color intensify as they get older or vice versa?

One of the nicest females I've ever seen! Their color only gets better as they age, but water quality and diet need to be taken care of.
