here's my 4" lady gt that iam trying to make a green devil hybrid with they are in 75 gal and have spawned twice but the gt mom keeps eating the eggs i feed them hikari gold and nightcrawlers as a staple food.:grinno:

Wow that is the same exact side marking on my gt. yea, its just a marking, no injury. I wonder how common it is....

I wish mine had the red in the dorsal and tail like Nomad's. I keep trying to get him to take krill, to try to bring out some more of the red and orange, but he just kind of pecks at it. Not like brine and BW's...He wolf's that stuff down but not the krill. Guess its just not meant to be.

Your's will never get the orange because it is not a gold saum. Nice fish though.

Actually, I think it is... just not as colorful?
 
Yeah...I know its a mix of the two. You can't tell from the pics I posted but when you see the fish in person it's kind of like a 75/25 gold/white ratio. The orange is just not that bright...almost washed out. Thats why I'm trying the krill, to brighten the orange that he has up. Probably won't work though, but I figure its worth a shot. Krill worked wonders on oranges and reds of previous fish I've had in the past...But they weren't mixes like this one.
Still with the all the gill flaring and finger chasing that this fish does I'd be stupid to give him up for another GT, gambling on whether or not he had the same personaliy as this one. He's is without a doubt, the meanest GT I've ever seen.
