hope the above is useful in convincing light plays important part in the development of colours.
As for the main topic...I think john cover its rather well...simple and easy to understand. |

err....not quite true leh....most of the XB I seen in farms do cross...it apply for my own XB ponds too, althu one or two does show a reduce in crossing after placing them inside. Maybe got other reasons... |

all these being said...there is a consequential problem on the color tat was enhanced through the use of lighting....which is why I deliberately avoided elaborating on the effectiveness of light on changing colors --> to push color with light, different wavelengths has diff results...end of the day we were able to throw it to its limits...but towards a general "holding" capability of the results is a mamoth task...this is till now subjective based on the various research object |

but XB under pond conditions do exhibit a reduction of shine (or darkened tops) anyway I know nuts about XB...maybe got to check with bro Kamisan and ZMT...they would be in better position to answer on XB... |

Well what u said is partically true....since they are all external factors...but we do also have to consider as they are kept in our tanks which is man made...we will have to try to provide all necessary stimulant they face in their nature environment...and light is one of them. Gene apart..have u consider that the development of colour on red aro could be also partically due to sunlight stimulant over time?? Such that by the time they reach mature stage of their life that they achieve their colour (whatever their composition is) |

Light with 6500k (closer to sunlight) have little impact compared to the other color temp I have tested...other ranges reacted better IMO...6500k is abit slow...fade at the same rate though |

is this also the case why pond red will never exhbit their intense redness compare to tank enviroment... remember bro Keane ever commented that his kali red which was red turned brown in an outdoor pond |

All these show...what I mentioned earlier...full crossing...with a couple (1-2) showing almost full crossing...with Kim Kang, Sian long the most impressive...i.e. the intensive gold and shine. Most of them uses spring water or river water...not unlike their nature habitat... So there must be other reason. |

the color of red I would perceived as having 2 aspects of stimulants:
Internal: Hormones/pheromones generation or neurological glands which could alters the composition of the chromatophores External: Use of equipment or water conditions to allow max stimulation of scales colors in the genetic terms are almost similar to the Fats in humans Some ppl are born fat (cos alot of fat cells around...drink water also fat...metabolism too slow to burn off excess fats/glucose ) Some ppl have little fat cells and even when they eat alot, their metabolism is able to assist them to burn off the excess fats...this is likened as a hormone stimulation which determines the body shape IMO is similar to a Red's coloration change |
