Yes your right, I remember now!
And you didn’t say they turned ugly, you said they turned out to look like regular Doreanus.

Well that’s exactly how mine turned out after I sold them.

I find the flamingo example pertinent, long term captives turn white, yet they are still healthy and vigorous, put them on the right diet and they turn pink in no time, over do it and they get red.
So I have to question are these animals (flamingos, fishes, butterflies, reptiles) affected by what they eat? Of course they are, WE are what we eat says the food guide.

In PNG theirs a green lizard who’s blood turned green from the chemicals residue of the war, the same species at the opposite range has less intense colors and red blood, and what about ornate uromastyx? The plant they feed on have a peculiar defence mechanism, they secret high toxic sieve so that animals feeding on them stop doing so, yet ornate keep feeding on them, its how they get those awesome colors, cbb never get as nice and keeps losing intensity, why iv stop doing them.

Also look at Mike’s jobbies, they are in good enough condition yet have lost there rich coloration, this is not obligatory and the reason of my post.

Thanks for the compliment, I do post with the sole intent to start discussions, it really doesn’t matter to me if Joes peachies are blue, green or brown, mine have been awesome and will keep being so, id rather not keep a dull looking jobi, they appeal to me for there beauty, not what they might have looked like or could have looked like.

Cheers

Ps. Stop complaining about me not sharing enough, if you want to complain do it about all them selfish cowards who are afraid to post here cause they will be challenged or argued, you know them as well as I do (the use to bee’s) (the wanabes) (the all mighty beings that publish useless crap from Mertensiela to giant lizards) if you really want to complain, then do it with those peoples, get them to react and share a little with us the little peoples.
You may not care that they copy-cat you and claim to fame, but I do!
If your gonna feed the leaches, feed the best suckers.
