A proper introduction

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Javert! (It's French, so it's not pronounced like it's spelled. But I dunno how to spell it out in the pronunciation way, so.... sorry. If anyone else can feel free to)

I think he deserves a new thread so his name doesn't get lost in the old one

I picked the name since Javert is one of the most interesting characters in literature, in my opinion. So, what a perfect name for a fish with interesting colors! I didn't quite catch his true color in these photos, but pretty close. He ranges from very lavender sometimes to a silvery grey. And his scales either shine a coppery color or all the colors of the rainbow. What a jewel

Well, here he is!

The "r" sound in french is made with your uvula. Kind of like when you're trying to dislodge phlegm. Yummy.

And he is beautiful, btw.

No, not quite. If you can see that video I posted, it has it. Or just type in "Javert" in youtube or something like that...

The sound would probably be zhav-air I think. (french last name, gotten pretty good with it. Just try pronouncing "Lemieux"{le mew, which translates as "the best"})
