Re: Nannacara sp "red"

Steve,

My guess is that you have anomala. I have seen a
number of these from the wild that have a reddish tint
to their dorsal and anal.

In the mid 90's there was a very red form of anomala
being sold. I believe they were imported from Germany.
They were being sold by a now defunct specialist in
DC's. My understanding is that some of these exhibited
a very red coloration. I've been trying to remember
the trade name they were using but no success so far.
