Male exCichlasoma Ornatum Color Improvement

[King-eL]

Here are some pics update of color improvement of exCichlasoma Ornatum that I got from Charles.

This is a male I think.... 10" now. Feed it with prawns and pacific smelts. I usually feed pacific smelts to my blue base asian arowana to improve the blue core on the scales and feeding pacific smelt to this guy also I see improvement.
(Sorry crappy pics. Fins are torn when it was fighting the jaguar cichlid for dominance almost twice the size. He won somehow.)

No Flash.

With Flash

Before when it was only eating prawns

Thanks guys! As for being white... that no white that just bleach out with the flash. That paling out is ugly in person.
