When it is pure it is blue Here is some in my native tank, a westcoast stream theme. The blue/black is near pure iron sand and the brown in other 'impurities', It bands nicely when pored into water.

I guessed that they might both be red fin females, one is a bit darker than the other. The torrent fish changes colour as well, it seems darker when resting (normally at the end of the tank with the iron sand) and lighter when more active.

A bit of tannin in the water from the wood/leaflitter

another pic, high ISO so very noisy: Both of them change their darkness depending on if they are over the black sand or the light pebbles etc

Thanks. The sand is the 'nice' iron sand we get on the west coast in these parts. yeah, just turning over rocks with a net down stream to get the critters and low and behold...

Hello all, new member with a new native tank... It started out as a west coast (waikato) stream with shrimp and two bullies. I'm not sure what sort of bullies yet as they are only 25-30mm but look to have stripes on their cheeks so I'm guessing they could be redfinned? anyway went to a local stream to get some invertebrates for their food and accidentally got a torrentfish Some pics: by nzbeeman, on Flickr
