After losing my fish to o2 deprivation and potential mycobacterium, I’m going to be restarting my 36 gallon bow front, and am looking back at one of my original stocking ideas - erythrinus erythrinus.
I know there’s the Peru variant (purple) and the regular ones, and was curious if anyone knows the differences between the two, if there are any significant ones.
To my knowledge:
Purple has a more purple coloration as opposed to the black/gray on the red
Purple maxes slightly smaller
Purple is a bit less active/more shy
Assuming this is true, the purple is a better fit for the tank size, right? Any other differences I should know about?
