Otopharynx heterodon Coloring up!

Tony

Alligator Snapping Turtle/Past Pres
Otopharynx heterodon - "Royal Blue Hap." 1M/2F, about 4"-4.5" long. Another one of those questionable classifications imo.. they look more like the Placidochromis electra types, but oh well. Placidochromis is sort of screwed up anyway....

Got these guys in September up at House of Tropicals with Richard and O'Shea.

The male started to color up, so I threw the trio into a 40 breeder with my male peacocks. Well, after three peacocks were killed in three weeks, I fished them out and threw them into the 180 to blow off some steam.

I got these shots when I was transferring them. 10 days later in the 180 (with some much bigger fish), they're doing fine. The male has lost no color and the females, despite being accosted by the big venustus, are fine as well. :)
