Powder Blue or Brown Color - Pics Please!!

[forddna]

If you happen to have pics of your Powder Blue or Powder Brown as a juvie and as an adult, please post! I'd love to see how a juvenile in the store might look as an adult.

Not sure there's a difference in juvie and adult between these two.

 

[forddna]

Not like an angel, but surely the coloring is more bold as the fish gets bigger/older, right?

 

[chineseknife]

Pigmentation and color has to do with diet, nutrition, and stress, and DNA with tangs. Some may get slightly lighter/darker but the colors/patterns stay the same.

Riiiiiiight. So I want to see what the stressed fish at the store might turn out to look like. Post pics.

You're a thorn in the side. Post pics of YOUR fish or please just stop posting.

 

[chineseknife]

My posts are not meant to be malicious in anyway. If a fish is washed out in an lfs, which they usually are because of stress, and assuming it's going home to a better environment, then it will almost always darken up and have a more bold tone to it.
The reason I didn't post my fish are b/c I have no child/adult pics to post for comparison. I will post a picture of my Powder Brown and my Regal Tang anyway.
These guys are about 5 years old.
HTH.
Also, sorry if I came across the wrong way.

I wish they were a little clearer for you.

Nice cccapt!

its like chineseknife said there are no diffeernces in colors between a juvi and full blown adult in a petstore the odds are that any fish will be stressed out in the lfs and thus not maintaing its full color and vibrancy

 

[forddna]

So a young juvenile should have as bold of colors as he will as an adult?

Chihuahua, how as I rude??

chinese, thank you for the pictures!

This was rude.

 

[forddna]

It was blunt. I'm asking for pics, and he kept posting everything but pics. I wanted pics of juvie vs adult to compare, and he posted links to google searches of just random fish. I was getting irritated, so I was blunt.

 

[Chihuahua6]

No it was rude.

Have a nice evening.

 

[dones20]

i agree^^^^ people on reefcentral tend to be rude at times

 

[forddna]

Wow..you guys are overly sensitive or something. lol I'm really not a mean person - or rude for that matter. Just didn't know how else to say - "stop rambling about stuff that's not helping me and post pictures."

I have seen tons of pictures of tangs of all shapes and colors. I wanted to see - if anybody HAD pictures - pictures of juvies when they were first purchased compared to the same fish as an adult.

 

[chineseknife]

Amanda- No worries. I posted those google pics while searching for the others scattered on my pc. At no point did I feel like you were rude and can definitely see your frustration, so again, no worries. Just glad I could find the actual pics of my guys

Others-ya'll need to relax, I understood exactly what Amanda was trying to get across. I can cetainly defend myself if I feel offended, but thanks.
