You sure it's not a hybrid between a cutteri or somth'n?

 

[bluestarflowerfish]

I don't think so??

damn that is a really nice fish. i want one!

 

[dirtyblacksocks]

It looks nice - but I don't know of any region where true convicts are collected with a copper color, my first instinct would be that it's a hybrid containing cutteri and convict - but maybe some one more experienced could add to this. Either way it's a good looking fish

that is just a normal female convict...they develop those patches of orange on their sides when they are ready to lay eggs...if you were to introduce a male they would almost certainly breed...and terrorize everything else in the tank to protect their offspring

The OP isn't referring to the orange on the side, rather the overall color of the fish as having a copper tint to it.

Nice looking and unique con.

Wow! Interesting color! At first I thought it was just dark, but the more i looked at it, the more "copper" I see.

Nice fish. Is there a snook in one of the shots?

Thanks for sharing,
