Introducing my (((NEW))) BIG LIPPED RED Labiatus

[NWatson]

Nice fish, the lips on my wild caught have gone completely away. Probably had him around two years or more now. He was super dark red when I got him, now he’s between a pale orange to a pretty solid orange depending on his mood. Pretty interesting fish!

Here is a recent pic. He gets darker then this but not much. Look back at some of my older threads, he was dark red.

Still a very nice fish.. love the fin extensions.... Andy Woods Lab undertook a similiar transformation.

I'm planning on making a specific Red Devil set-up with a larva rock substraight

Such a handsome fish Andy... Not surprised you've still got him all this time.
