anyone know what makes a rosequeen? i know if you buy them large there already purple or pink in color but stores sell them small and there grey. has anyone ever raised one of the small grey ones to see if it indeed does color up? thanks
Camphilophus;4486565; said:It's a mix between synspilum and labiatus. I have a 9-10" female rose queen that I raised from 1" and it's one of my favorite fish. Amazing color, big nuchal hump, yellow eyes, and great personality. They look just like synspilums until 3-4" then they start looking amphilophus and peel into their true color. Anybody talking crap about the strain is just an IDIOT that knows nothing about the hobby.
