who's silvers still have the red/pinkish stripes?

who's silvers still have the red/pinkish stripes on them at around 2ft+?(pic please?)
if so how intense is the color?

the lighting dose not show it but mines are as intense as the 2 pic.
these are mines for comparison. the pic with the discus has it almost all the way to the gill.

yep got that on mines too ...not so obvious from the side (at least does not show up so well on photos) but quite pronounced from the top =P

One has it really pronounced hear the gill plate on ONE scale only. can not capture with my crappy camera

Nice aros btw ^^

Those are beautiful! I have a small one, about 9 inches that still has the pink in the gills and tail. I know that is normal, but it is very prevalent.

my 30 and 29 are white and silver no color at all.

they say if you feed them shell fish such as shrimp it gives and keeps them having that color to them. thats just what i hear

Yes that is most likely true. I had a 24 silver that kept its coloration but I died 6 months ago.

nice aros and ray.
i see that it is same level of red/pinkish color like mines.

they look nice.
from pics i've seen of your silvers they were always white and silverish. we probably feed them different main diets.

 

[ctoychik]

I feed mines alot of dead shrimp. Sometimes frogs (when they are available). Hikari floating sticks and crikets. This is the main diet of mines. DO note that when i got them as juvies, two had coloration - the other one was white. One is still white at the moment

yes I agree with feeling2good. She has a point there.
