Fishman Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 But they only look nice when they are young. Will look similar to ordinary BN when they become adults. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firenzenz Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 But they only look nice when they are young. Will look similar to ordinary BN when they become adults. There is no evidence or documentation of that being the case. The L168 is known to be almost chameleon like and will alter colouring to suit environment. I would suggest that the same fish in the photobucket shots would have an entirely different and more the striped mode of patterning if they were on a light substate in a planted tank with lots of hidey holes. On dark backgrounds they can go almost black and their stress colouration would be not dissimilar to a BN. I would well imagine a bare tank situation wouldn't get the best colouring out of these fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
