Shiny ✨N. chrosomus 💙


Recommended Posts

What percentage of the time are they colored up like that?  They're absolutely beautiful!

Once they mature to ca. 9-months old to 1-yr+ this strain is always this color. This is not their “fired-up” color.

Here is an example of one male from this strain fired up for spawning …
