isnt it funny how different all of them look, even though they were out of the same shipment? i think it was richard that said there pattern would change very much as they grew.

 

[Infblue]

agreed. it sure is amazing how different they can look pattern-wise. the larger ones came from the same shipment, and yet their patterns are very different.

Tropicals are crazy variable when young..Most gar are like this to some extent but Tropicals seem to take the cake for being remarkably chameleon like.

Just got to love these suckers
