bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | yesterday i went and got 5 new cichlids, 3 young green terrors, 2 blue acara. they are all settling nicely in the QT tank ATM. the GT i bought were in a bad tank, and were beaten up. just little fin problems. my question is on the blue acaras, even at the lfs there was like 15 in the tank, and i only saw two that were a deep color. so i got that one, and one of the other lighter colored ones. now the colored one is still colored and the non colored one isn't, why is that. what does it mean? |
