Ok, my LFS had CB scribby's on sale for $99 - I had to buy 2! One was dark & deep in color of an adult & the other was definitely lighter (washed out) ... they were in a small tank w/ pvc & a small power head. Dark one chased the light one around from the start only to take a few breaks. I was prepping another tank because I knew they had to be separated & 45 minutes later the light one was on the bottom taking her last breaths. The other was happily cruising around, eating & exploring.
So I'm looking for anyone who's lost one - what was the color like on it when alive? When I say washed out, it sort of yellowish. I didn't get to photograph it & when it passed, it took on a lighter color. Just noting some observations.
