Since a few weeks I own my own colony of Opae Ula. They are now all settled and back to full color most of them are bright red, two of them are white/red, but I’ve one Opae Ula that is extreme, almost fluorescent, yellow!! I just want to share this with you. It’s a pity that there’s only one. Otherwise selective breeding could lead to a very nice color variation.

Oh wow that ones so cute! Dont worry that you only have the one as it may breed and throw yellow babies and in turn they will breed etc! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

my phone camera really sucks but the eggs are actually like a light baby blue color, definitely not green...

Let’s hope they come to something and stay blue! Good luck.
