RBTA with green oral disk?

[phurst]

I've had this RBTA for 3+ years now. All the other RBTAs I've seen since then have been solid red/orange/pink. When I first got it, I thought it was just a little bleached, but if anything, the green has gotten more pronounced. It's considerably more noticeable than the pic shows. Is this normal?

very cool. a few RBTA's at my LFS have a similar metallic green on their oral disc

the one i have is like that too. like tyou said it is a little bit more uncommon from what i have seen.

thats the more common color morph. IMO. The all red or all pink are harder to find in my area atleast. And the Blood red one is the Holy grail of RBTA

the metallic orange that key has out in colorado is the rarest i have ever seen. used to be called keys island out by denver.

heres is a pic of mine when i first got it.

Wow, very nice.

 

[phurst]

Wow, that's stunning!

This is what my other one looks like and what most of them I see around here look like. Solid red, deeper color.

Mine looks exactly like yours. sometimes the disk is really green and other times it changes to be more red. i think it depends on how happy it is.
