Rasbora coloring question

More specifically rasbora heteromorpha coloring. I have harlequin rasboras from two different stores where both were labeled as rasbora heteromorpha. On the original three I had in my 10 gallon they show blue, orange, and yellow coloring. The others from petsmart are the orange coloring that I would expect. Is this just a difference in the quality of the stock, or is there two different sub species that look the same? They all get along just fine and school with the others, I am just curious as to how there is a difference.

Sorry about the photo quality, these guys never stop moving so this is the best I can get. It is hard to tell, but the blue marking is above the black section.

 

there deff all harlequin rasboras. I have not noticed any diff in mine. must just be a quality in stock, I'm not sure if blue is good or bad but sounds cool to me lol.

 

Thanks, that is good to know they are all the same. Yeah, that is my best guess to a difference in quality. They have had the blue coloring one week after getting them a couple months ago. I like the blue on them since it is different. If they ever stop moving for more than a second maybe I could get a better picture of the blue .

 

Wow those are awesome! I have not seen that color variety before but would love to get my hands on some! I've been thinking about getting espeis for a new 20 gallon I'll be starting up because they're a bit smaller and have a more reddish color than harlies. Those blue, yellow, orange guys look like they're being feisty with each other, too. Locally in the pet stores, I've noticed the males "jousting" with each other. Must be the spawning season LOL.

Thanks, I wish I had more of them that look like that now. Espeis would look really nice in a group especially with their coloring. It is funny when they get into their little standoff matches that never go anywhere. Overall their behavior as a group is just amusing. There is a couple females that look like they are carrying eggs again, so that is probably why. Too bad the pH isn't low enough for the eggs.
