All depends on the bloodline. Some are more colorful than others. I've even seen them without the red heads.

Synsillum is a very varied species as far as coloring goes.
It is thought that the yellow melanurus , and synsillum are basically the same species, simply color variants of each other, and DNA testing agrees.
And because the scientific name melanurus was given first (Gunther 1862), it will replace the junior synonym synsillum (Hubbs 1935).

Thank you guys. I had them In a 180 gallon tank, but i checked the temps in my ponds and they matched, so i decided to place them in my pond. Their coloration varies, when feeding they seem Bland in color, when they were attacking each other, i saw them green as in that pic. In the pond, they seem silverfish, but im sure thats because the reflection of the water.
