Ok, we were given this little guy as a "True Perc" We have had for a few months and he is now paired with what we KNOW is a true perc. Based on Spines, eye color and body color. The female is a Solomon Islands variant, which is wht she is really bright orange, almost yellow. The male however, has been getting darker and darker all the time. He is so dark that I cant count his spines and looks like he is really an Onyx. On that note....looking at his eye color, he lacks the yellowish orange ring that you see in a Perc, so that is what leaves us wondering about him???? Given the details of eyes and body color, we are leaning that he may be some sort of "Onyx Percularis" What do you think???

Looks like a mixed pair to me. The female looks like a true perc and the male looks like a sustainable aquatics fancy ocellaris
