could be a luna?
Anyone else have a mature Red Hook which is totally blue in the fins? Please chip in? This guy has no bars, red tint or vivid spots like my Luna......
 
Aquamojo where are you? I kow you will have some insight.....any Mods know their SDs???????
 
So many of us use SD for dither.....Anyone have some further insight??? Anyone????
 
The second pic is Myleus rubripinnis -luna, I have about 4 of them with both orange and yellow spotting / blotches.

The only other SD I'm aware of with a blue/green fin is Myleus schomburgki , however has stated those are usually accompanied by a black bar, either thin or wide on the side of the SD... I've never seen one w/o those markings.

Sorry no help, I was thinking it may be a Myleus rhomboidalis or hybrid ???:confused:

Thanks for the Luna confirm....It had no spots until three weeks ago.....The Blue one is a mystery. It rules the SD clan though and is immaculate....always picking on the others.
 
Never thought about a hybrid! that might explain its vigor and growth!
