This is a terrible picture, and gives no indication of the bright coloring of
these fish. Their bodies are almost clear and the flash of my camera just
washed right through this one. The blue line down her side is neon blue, her
eyes are a bright emerald green, and the fins have yellow highlights.
According To "SIMON & SCHUSTER'S GUIED TO FRESHWATER AND MARINE AQUARIUM
