Hi everyone,
I just made my usual weekend tour of my LFS, and there I saw 4 yellow phoenix (2.5in) just arrived from Singapore. The store owner told me that he is not ready to sell them yet since they have not started to eat yet.
Closer examination ..... I can describe them as light but bright yellow fishes, very light pale blue horizontal stripe on their gill plates. Very faint speckled stress bars (8 bars) and light pepperings forming a periperal ring on its ventral and dorsal fins. They all have light yellow pupils rather than the usual orange pupils of the PB. Their stomachs are quite sunken in.
Since I don't see many yellow strains in my neighbourhood; I am quite excited to find them. However, my questions to you all are :
Will they darken into the usual light orange PB??
Will the pepperings stay light as they grow older ?
Does anyone have picture of a yellow PB or better yet, Yellow Pheonix from Singapore??
Thanks,
Patrick from Montréal ;)
