A few pics of some of my fish.

I'm blanking on the fish in the 5th photo. What is that? All of them look awesome.

It is a red terror. Thanks for the kind words.

I've never looked into them all that much. I didn't know they had a stripey variety. I always thought they were well, red. Smile

How's the FH get along with everyone? The times I've had them here I've never really be able to keep them with any other fish long term.

Are you confusin' red terrors with red devils, saint? I've never seen a red terror, without stripes.

Yep. It seems to be a talent of mine. I'm good at getting red devils, red terrors and red snooks mixed up.

I may be confusing them again, or thinking of something else entirely, but I had it in my head that male red terrors lost the stripes at 3 to 4 inches, and turned a light orange/peach color with green sparklies.

You are correct, saint....ther females are the pretty ones. Males turn yellow with some orange and speckles throughtout the fins and back area.
