What is the difference between a red GTP and yellow GTP?

Besides the obvious. Do they look different as adults?

Nothing at all. They can look close to one another as adults, just as two of the same color can look completely different from one another. It's a toss of the coin.

Hi:

One difference that many people have noticed is that red chondros will often take longer to complete their color change routine. The exception would be a yellow Biak chondro. While there are probably some exceptions to the rule (the yellow Biak, for example) if you want to see a more detailed color change get a red chondro. I like yellow babies but I have acquired a preference for the red ones simply because I've seen better color changes from the red ones I've had.

If you start paying mega dollars for some of the high-end stuff the color change rule sometimes goes out the window. And if you buy one of Brandon's SCZ chondros...well you just never know what you'll get...except that it's likely to be just stunning.

Good luck,

Stu
