I've just come across the red spotted greens classified in the personal classifieds forum and for the sake of learning about strains,can i ask what makes these fish red spotted GREENS and not just leopards? one of them looks like a red turq to me.
And is there a domestic red spotted green strain? Those fish look tank bred to me...

As i said this is purely for learning about strains, i have no intentions to disrespect the seller or the fish.

thanks

Red spotted greens are an old strain, they are derived from the red turks and wild RSG, better selection and breeding resulted in the leopard and ring leopard, the old res spotted greens had sirations on the head and no real spots over the belly which was more of an orangy color.

they've come a long way since then.
