that being said, i understand it's easier to spot a XB or red in the same waters than a green... is green a higher evolution or a lower one? |

higher or lower evolution have no bearing here nami green's color doesn't seem very plain to me...they are still green...but have different set of patterns --> which are attractive in their own ways u have already mentioned natural habitat, environment and predators --> camouflage or dominance?...its actually up to the red itself...sometimes its becauses of the contents of the water as we discussed...sometimes its about being the king of the pack...u got to be differnt to lead... |

From wat i can gather from the postings in this thread, it seems to me that all red aros, for this matter, will develope into red provided the environment is correct and they're sexually matured and the development has nothing to do with their genes at all. Am I correct to say this?

Does anyone think there is any link between the geographical distribution of the different 'color' asian aros and their colorations? |

with a environment change, hormones or rather neurological traits are transmitted from the brain to react to the change, hence the camouflage purpose of colors sexually matured, u will also need a particular level to achieve, just like humans, to have tat level of testorones at a certain age will prompt a different growth behavior or outlook of the person...they will tend to look out for attraction, go for the opposite sex and gets excited at the mere sight of a half cup, all this in the age of puberty reds are all similar in my concept, its just how gd their ratios of the chromatophores...this will determine whether they are early developers or late developers... However for some reds there may be an self defficiency in certain set of chromatophores, maybe a shortage of melanophores and an over abundnace of the xanthophores, hence u may experienced a "Yellow red" for a few years until the food or the environment are adjusted to make it beneficial for the required chromatophores to be stimulated within This is the reason why sometimes sellers always kpkb why the red never turn red at his place but once sold, the red turn red at the buyer place within 3 mths...most of it becos the change of environment takes away the stress element and allow the other colors to cover back and change the ratio of the colors |

Areas where high levels of tanins will also produce better colors IMO compared to regions of vast changing water parameters |

The question is when or why red turn red... but when and why cannot be used by "or" cause they are two different entity. Maybe the question should be "when and why red turn red" instead.
I have yet heard the answers why red turn red? Why dont red turn green or gold in kalimantan? If I were a red aro, I would have been green instead of red. Guess this is what myself and Fire is trying is get out of this brain teaser. Like the african has a darker skin tone to adapt to their enviroment. So what has red color got to evolution and adaptation? Have yet to hear my answers to this teaser yet. Quote:
