Is this variant type of Aimara ...... or normal pattern of Aimara ?????

[mdmuping]

My friend show me his Aimara 's picture. Its scales look green color as this photo. I do not know, this green color is variant type of Aimara so called "Burgundy" (http://belowwaterfish.blogspot.com/2009/11/hoplias-aimara-macrophthalmus-burgundy.html) or just plain Aimara (green scale from the reflection of light during taking the photo). please give me your opinions. Thanks

This photo is Burgundy Aimara from http://belowwaterfish.blogspot.com/2009/11/hoplias-aimara-macrophthalmus-burgundy.html
It is the same as my friend's Aimara (the first picture)

Aimara can have that green color to it. That's a normal color seen.

As far as burgundy. I don't see that on that photo too much. But they do come in a red or burgundy color as well.

Below is a nice burgundy color.

I wonder if I'm getting colorblind?...lol

I see a bit of a red sheen towards the bottom scales. But very faint. Might just be lighting or something. I believe it's the tapajos aimara that can be reddish. I'm probably wrong though. Can't remember for sure.

I had to look twice to be sure that the fish shown in the picture was a Wolffish, and not Arapaima .

Wolf fish. Snake head bowfin and a few others are known to show some killer green when its time to breed. No clue if that's the reason for the green in the pic but it's a possibility
