Re:A wild Idea!!!!
Hi Dottie:
To the question of "what makes them blue when one is red and one gold...?", there is a bad, multiple-part answer. Bad because it brings us to what is a blue, a brown, a green, and there are only "concepts" that work better with some specimens than others. Particularly when it comes to blues and browns.
Hopefully people with more expertise will shime in here, but my understanding/interpretation is that in addition to the two species (S.discus [heckel] and S. aequifasciata [all other wilds]), there are within each geographical variations in color, and these historically have been used to define the "green, blue and brown", which has been a useful squeme, albeit incomplete and perhaps not based on taxonomical truths. But there is substantial overlap, and exchange, in addition to individual variability. The same, although pehaps less dramatically so, can be said of S. discus, with the "blue, red" heckels.
Curiperas are considered blues, but I agree that they are much alike browns. Mines have not colored up to very red yet, but are getting there.
Cheers, Francisco.
