Some highly knowledgeable members giving you the correct answer here too

Green like this Hold up i will see if My buddy Carg has pics of his from the same batch this one is from They all had the same facial spotting at one point that yours does as well as the colors of green in the face

mine has a greenish face with spots all over it and has no red only on fins. and dosen,t have athick black line down the center. maybe the pics aren't good but mine has green and blue scales on the body. am i seeing things?

The features you are speaking of will come in later How long have you had the fish ?
