Couple pics of my new addition, He's around 12". Rio Meta is the river system he was from. i noticed when shooting him that with these large pbass unlike the smaller ones i've shot before (juvi kelberi) that the true colors are washed out to a goldish tint when shot with flash. as we know the True colors of Orinoco Pbass is a truly stunning Green/Blue Sheen that covers it's body, i included a shot of the golden sheen and the Green blue when shot with flash for it's true potential. Thank you Mr. Rapps again for a stunning fish and a record time delivery to my home (under 24 hours for when i purchased him (18 roughly).

from what ive seen and with the rio metas i have, i think these so-called rio metas will be a more goldish color, rather than the usual green. the ones IA brought in look theyre gonna be the green ones. at 12" this guy would have bright green by now. just variation between the species
