It's okay to Envy

[digitalxri0t]

Envy is my gfp wild type. The moment I saw her I fell in love, and I wasn't the only one! The shop I bought her from did not want to sell her. She has so much spunk. She'll follow after your hand if she's hungry, and she's always hungry. She eats like a glutton and puts everyone else to shame. She's one curvy lady most days.

she looks like bean, a gfp melanoid

How lovely! She does remind me of a melanoid but I guess the ring around her eye means she's not one? I don't really get how that works exactly. But regardless of name, she's a beauty. I love the flush of red in the gills.

Melanoids lack the golds and other colors and are plain dark. She is actually a lot more splotchy than the pictures show. The tip thats red is due to the end of her gill being gold, she also has a green/gold flake on her forehead and around her body. She just happens to be a super dark wild type and as it turns out, so do her babies. I kept one because it was really bright green but hes slowly getting dark like his mom. I'm so sad over it :/

So the red gills mean that she's a paradox? I know in reptiles a different spot = paradox. Like a leucistic having a black spot, or an albino with normal pattern mixed in as well.

I have no idea? The red is only showing cause she was excited about the worm, normally it's dark.

either way, pretty awesome!
