That is my old sev bro! I believe the red sev was mine also. I bought him from a store in S'port for like 5 bucks....he was beaten to within an inch of his life. I nursed him back for the most part, but he was in my fry tank and I needed to room so I gave him up.
Here's the pics of him I have, and the hand feeding video I promised.

Yes, turquoises used to be considered a differant species than the green. Personally I still think they should be seperate. Obviously Kullander knows more about this than I do, but I would believe that turq's and rotkiels would be local variants of the same species and greens a seperate species.
Both turq's and rotties share a much smaller adult size than what greens get, both show the same breeding coloration, and they are found in close relation to each other, while greens are found hundreds of miles away.
Just My opinion though.

I always thought the turquoise should stay separate, too. There are very obvious differences in the turks and greens, especially in the color.
Color is more for us than it is for science. Speaking with biologists/ichthyologists and reading their scientific describitons, color does not impact speciation at all. While used to help indentify differant species by sight, the actual science isn't impacted by the color.
Which is why I focused on the same smaller adult size and same breeding coloration of the turq's and rotties vs the greens. Ken Davis also pointed out the location differance, with no species found inbetween to indicate a bridge.
