Paratheraps Hartwegi

[Jafh]

One question:

How much variety of P. Hartwegi exist?, i've seen species with red colors and yellow also. Can you help me with the question?

Thank you very much.
Merry Xmas!!

Good question! I am curious as well, as I just picked up one the other day. It is still very small (2in), but I am hoping it will color up once it puts on some size!

I too have seen many different pictures of Hartwegi and a lot of them look very different. I have heard a lot of the more intensely colored ones are rarely pure Hartwegi and are actually hybrids. I'm not sure that's really the case though...

I can't answer your question but here's what my pair look like... male blueish, female more yellowish-red.

Wow! those are beautiful. Are they F0?, where do you find that variety? / i think i will start a search of P. Hartwegi, because i like it a lot. I have a 480 liter tank, maybe i could get a pair on it.

If someone have P. Hartwegi, please share some photos.

Thanks a lot!

Hope someone can help me.
