At a LFS $22 for a 3.5" Male Fryeri isn't too bad of a deal. I am lucky on Fryeri in that I know two guys that breed them so I can get them cheap.
How good is the color? At that size, you should have a strong blue and start to see the white stripe. I just updated my 120 thread with pics of the 5" Fryeri.
little closer to purplish than blue on the cheeks, with some solid blue coloration but not as good as what i see when i google them, they're in petsmart water so their color really comes out when you remove them from such confined space
there are 2 there that i kinda like and would like to get out of that water, one of which has a purplish chrome color on the cheeks and has very defined stripes when i took him out and put him in one of the plastic breeder things, i see a lot of potential for him in cleaner water
the other one has a good bit of yellow on his fins, and i was wondering if this is a sex difference or a different similar species all together, i found a pic on google that looks similar to the one im talking about:
gonna go check out ur updated thread now, would love to see the 5" specimen
