They are a creamy colour with grey strips to even a light grey with darker grey strips depending on where its parents are from. They grow to around 6inches usualy a bit smaller and the are very capable swimmers the prefer to kind of hop from rock to rock. They are also quite intolerent of other bottom dewellers. I have 2, and am trying to breed them they are great , a little fish with a big pesonality. |
