hey ppl!
got this small 2 '' red devil last week..........just wantd to know if it will get any more red in future?

 

[manoj2103]

Are you sure it's not albino or something? It looks very white.

 

[f1shy]

It might if it's not albino. He might just be too young.

 

[manoj2103]

yea its not albino!!a bit over exposed pic!!
just wanted to know it they get more red as they grow....so its yes rite?

 

[justarn]

yes definatly could get more red, or white, or yellow, at that size, he could keep peeling and changing colour gaining and losing different colours for a year or more, one of the best bits about devils in my opinion... never know how they'll turn out!

 

[manoj2103]

ohh thats interesting..so ll keep updating how it turns out!!
ne information about the growth rate???

Its not albino. its a white and red midevil. mine looked like that when it was a baby with more red. they actually lose the red as they grow. also i would be careful of the fact that its fins are clamped like that. its not a good sign of health.

@above it is jus during the pic the fins hav cum like that check my fish just after reading ur post!!! bt its normal!! n to my surprise all three pics hav clamped fins...lol!!
n if it ll loose a bit red than i guess i ll hav a complete white fish.....lolzz

Fins should be completely unclamped and open even when swimming.. fish would have to be swimming extremely fast for them to be that clamped. if those pictures were taken when the fish was barely moving ide be concerned they do not look good at all. but if u say they look fine now then u would know better then what a pictures is telling me now. the fish in my avatar is a red and white midevil like urs. if u see ur fish with clamped fins all the time if they do not open their tail at all let us know cause u might be seeing symptoms of health issues.
