Thank you all so much. It may seems like the photo is exaggerated but I can assure that the photo aren't manipulated in any way except for the camera settings, it is the real deal. You can see in the video below.
The story behind this photo is that this mahseer along with another one was bought from a seller that kept them in a white fibreglass tank. At that time the mahseers are completely white with blue metallic fins. This is the photo of the other one.
It has a humpback & more blue to it. I like it more than the other one.
Even the scales have that blue tinge to it.
So the photos taken a few hours after the mahseers went into the tank so their whiteness contrast with the black background. It was so beautiful but beauty doesn't last long, it gets darker (reddish) over time & the metallic blue fins becomes normal blue & some parts turn reddish. It's actually normal for that kind of color change in mahseers.
The specimen in the POTM was sold but i kept the humpback, here it is now.
Still a beauty but not like how i wanted it to be when it first got here. Anyway, thank you all who supported me.
