Fish Color

[DYIguy]

When researching fish make sure you look at adult colorization, I've learned this the hard way- just about every fish site shows the juvenile colors- you have to dig deeper- cases in point- midas blenny- the African loses it's yellow and turns musky, so does the 'yellow' dottyback, the tailspot blenny is another- gets dark with age- not that it's a problem for everyone- they still retain their personalities

Chevron tang and pinnatus batfish are very similar in that regard, gorgeous juvi colors, and not great adult colors.

Harlequin sweetlips are fish that get pretty ugly when they mature aswell. Dragonwrasses have a pretty big change, but still look pretty good as adults.
