Well from the other thread asking if he had a true perc or not. Got me wondering on mine.
I got 2 of these little guys few days ago.
The store had them as tank raised true percs.
I was just thinking maybe the tank raised ones have a little different coloring then the wild true percs.
If they are not true I dont mind they paired up together right away and have a blast swimming around together.

Ocellaris & badly inbred causing the bulldog face look, BUT nice bright orange color :)

The bulldog look has very little to do with inbreeding. You can and often do, get bulldog faced babies from WC parents. It has more to do with the conditions under which the fry are raised.

BTW: the baby is an ocellaris.
