Looking good they turned out to have some nice patterns.

I'm really impressed with the colors they've come into. I've hesitated on picking up a pair of picasso's because they weren't the deep orange that I really like in clown fish. Now that I've seen the potential of this fish you've got me thinking again.

I was the same way when I first saw them at the fish store. I was thinking...these are not the picassos I usually see....but was assured by the LFS owner they would darken up considerably when they get older. Sure enough they have. Took them about 3-4 months but they really started to get their "True Colors"

True perculas are really amazing when they do show their colors.

They will tend to get darker, and eventually outline their white bars with black (or black completely between the white bars). Of course, not everything is in the genes, as quality foods and water quality, and lighting help bring out their colors.

You have a nice looking pair!


Best,

Thanks for sharing! That's really amazing how much they can change; great looking fish. They look "happy".
