pellegrini updated photo's

[COOL MBU]

That is the best color I have seen in a male Pellegrini,is it possible that the black substrate is helping bring it out with this particular fish?

I am curious what he would look like in a tank with the same dacor & lighting,but with,let's say-an off white pool filter sand??

Love your setup!!!

Actually here he is on tan sand before i moved him,almost the same seems the color of the substrate doesnt affect him that much,he has been getting better and better as he gets larger and matures.
