these pics dont do much justice for the fish in real life it has just as much pearls as a texas its back ground color is just doll.I think its face pearls are amazing for any fish.Its gaining color as it grows it is not dominate at all in the tank so maybe if it becomes dominate its colors would show more.I will have to get some more recent pics.I do agree the offspring all look different i had some that looked better as fry but they were small and weak.And died off.I dont think there is any kok potential through.And all its pearls are bright blue .
