Hey guys, so my LFS stocked a few 12" micropeltes, but there are a few variations in the patterns, they have the common striped version and also a spotted version (not diplogramma, however). Is there any standard as to which is rarer/more sought after? Should I be looking for more defined stripes as seen from above, bolder patterns from the side, more markings on the tail? Is a more golden coloration good or more blueish? And ontologically speaking, will the markings change as the fish reach 15" anyways? Which juvenile pattern turns out nicer as adults? They also have an adult version of the golden amens and are claiming that the striped version will more closely resemble the amens, with its blue sheen. What do you guys think?
