Hey Darren... about those yellows. The ones before look real yellow but I think it was Bryan who said there is no such thing as true yellow FL but rather green morphs. This latest pic you posted seems to support that being a green-yellow morph. Do you agree with that?

I posted a pic of my yellow ric on page 8 of this thread. I think that is way more yellow than green
 
here's a couple of mine

yea I was a little sleepy when I typed that now that Im awake they do look green.....lol....guess my eye's were playing tricks on me I guess..
 
Oh... I thought they were at least yellow green and posted in response to my question about yellow vs green/yellow morphs and someones response. Do they look that yellow in reality? Heres a very color accurate pic of typical green/purple yuma's

Azurel,

it was late for me too, so my brain wasnt fully functioning either. it just hit me that you might be talking about my ricordia avatar.

pic i posted in thread is a common electric green yuma.

pic in avatar is different story. i just got him last week. was kinda bleached. it is coloring up a bit. currently with it somewhat bleached out, the coloration doesnt look like any ricorida i seen. it has a peachish/pink middle with light green outside outer. when it really colors up, we'll see how it turns out. here's a better pic.

Thats what mine looked like when I got it... The pic above of the white/clear/teal is the exact same one I believe. The pic above is after about a month of adapting to my tank and coloring up. The mouth is golden yellow on mine.

millisec,

i dont think it's the same. the pic u posted looks similar to my electric green yuma but different. what lighting are u using? are u editing the pic? the colorization just doesnt seem natural to me.

mine distinctly have 2 different colors which i believe it not due to bleaching or lighting. there were several on the rock i bought. they all have the same similar pattern which leads me to believe that it is naturally bi-color at least.... peachish pink middle and light green outter. of coarse with time, the true colors will come out.
 
Both the pictures are only sharpened and under 4x 96w PC 10k and 03. Time will tell but what you posted could not be any more this ricordia which I have seen under halide lighting and pictures of the same online. The two greens I posted are accurate. Ones what I would call electric green/purple and this one is white/clear & teal. Thats the color and not bleached whatsoever.

Hello everyone....
