    i can count at least 14 bars on it you can call it what you want, its still a snakeskin :P If its here for a "co-critique" then imo its a very average fish, shape's pretty bad and the bars are not uniform. If I had bred that fish it would end up culled or used for testing new medication.

    The Alencer from Xtreme is of much better quality, though imo still an average fish.
    here's an Alencer that imo is of very good quality.

    Alenquer colour

    Alenqers are close to my heart. They are my favourite wild strain. now Extremes Alenquer is young, but will colour-up with age. I reckon you've got a good fish there. A good idea to get better colouration is to get it out of the blue tank set-up. I've got some good photos of how much this can change their colouration. And also, females tend to have deeper red colouration. Heres a couple of photos of some young Alenquers and what they grew up into (with only a basic Oxheart/discus dinner diet).
