Very similar. The thing is, the auratus group is a very, very diverse group and most of the diversity happpens in Panama. There is a nice abundance of photos of this variation, but finding them for sale is another story. They seem to be common to the eyes, but common in actual availability is something else. I'd love to find some more of these and have been looking pretty hard lately. That picture you provided looks alot like mine...the coloration is very similar and you can see the blue tinge to it. I'm hoping that Chuck's trio produces a few more before they pass away (they've been in his care for 16 years and were obtained as WC adults). The next batch that they produce, if any, will got to me and him. He produced nearly 400 offspring over the years but sadly, never held any back for himself. If any of you stumble across any for sale, let me know. I doubt you will though.
