Patience is a virtue that you should learn dude... And I'd like to ask you politely to not use Pics off of Primitivefish.com as an Avatar without asking permission. Those are copyrighted photos and we would appreciate that you go through proper channels before using them.

To answer your question on localities, yes I do know of some with a distinct red tone to the fins. I'm not however going to give these out on an Internet forum. I do not in general give out locality specific information about my research.

sorry about my impatience I was just a bit peaved that no one answered. As for the avatar, I will change it imidiatly. Sorry about that

Could you PM or email any info? If not , I totaly understand. I will stop asking if the answer is no.

Thanks either way!

From what I understand the red fins are because the fish was just fighting and cause a little trauma to the fins. The red comes the broken blood vessels in the fins.
I guess if you really want your gar to have red fins, just bring him out of the tank, lay him on a table and LIGHTLY tap his fins with a hammer until desired color is reached.

OMG
