Hi Everyone,
I have a pair of a. Elizabethae (95% sure at least). that do seem to have some slightly abberant coloration compared to other examples that I see of this species.
Mostly in a more distinct orange/red on the tips of the dorsal fin, and also the tips of the pelvic fins.
The specimen is still young, as he was not sex-able just a few months ago when I got him (Thank the stars I lucked out and got a pair as it was guesswork). The pair is currently raising fry and are generally at peak "breeding colors" from my observations as well.
Any thoughts on the coloration? Is it a known locale specific thing, or possibly just minor genetic differences?
A few images here:
Attached one cropped and smaller image as well
