Red Dragon Turning Red

[ral]

A friend is offering me a nice pair of Red Dragons. My only concern is that the male has gotten reddish instead of his metallic white color. Is he sick?

This is him now:



This is him 2.5 months ago:



Price is good. $15 including a female.

I´d say no, my dragons started white bodied and are both at various degrees of redness.

Fish can and do change colour.

Sometimes it's emotion, sometimes it's with age and sometimes it's with illness.

I wouldn't worry if he seems otherwise healthy.

Thanks... so I guess it might just be a natural thing. Owner told me he builds large bubble nests. Should rethink this red dragon thing. If they turn red with age...
