Silver-tip Colour

[ghent_3rd]

One of my silver-tips seems to have gone a really nice pinky/red colour, a bit similar to a Serpae?? I must admit my tank maintenance has been spot-on the last 4-6 weeks or so and the diet I am feeding has varied a lot and I think really helps bring out there colours. The only thing can guess is that it is feeling very good about itself at the minute and is expressing itself!!!

That's a bit odd, my silver tips are either silver or gold. You're sure it's not some sort of infection, though, right?

Hadn't though of that to be honest?

I will keep my eye on it and wait to see if there are any other posts in this thread. I suppose it could be considered gold, I will surf the web and have a look at other silver-tips to see if I can establish it. Thanks for the reply!

Good quality male Silver Tips are very colourful. The "gold" becomes a real coppery orange-red. The reason most people are unfamiliar with it is that there are so many poor quality fish around, and those are kept in less then optimal condition.

Thanks lateral line

That has made me feel really good because that is the exact colour that my silver-tip is.
