Hi All,

I've just seen this posted for sale. Can anyone help with the ID? It's posted as a 'Blue' but to me, it looks the same as the domestic form of Red seen in most shops and other sources. What does anyone else think?

It is whatever the seller wants to name it. Yes, it is a domestic red form of A. agassizii with blue body. I've seen similar specimens sold under a number of names.

Newbie here. There seems to be a very wide variation in Agassizii dut to location (wilds) and selective breeding. Google "Agassizii fire red" for a more extreme case. That being said, the one you were looking at loogs great to me.
