Hi all,

ive got two questions:

How exactly is a red melon defined? Someone told me that a true red melon is not allowed to have any black pigmentation. is this true?
also, the white faced red melon, is it a white faced red melon, san merah, or white faced marlboro red?
i've heard all of these names thrown around for fish that look the same, recently i've seen some in a LFS advertised as red melons, they were white faced hat peppering though..
can someone shed some light on this please?
thanks

hi zar age old debait mate , but as a rule most melons will get black spots or peppering,some with get black on there fins they are pigoen based.
san merah are a brown base fish
were melons and marlbro are all pigoen based.
red fish like RGD, san marah,red rose ,dont get peppering, (or not ment to ) hope that helps a little
