the gold bar maroons start out with the bright red and white when they are juv. then when they get older they darken. I like mine alot more with his deep rich maroon. Miune wont let the chromis neer his anename
mine is very dark, here he is defending his mushrooms that he lives in, if you touch the tank in front of them he wigs out and tries to attack your hand. he is very protective of them.
