Is this really a "Citronella" tinctorious ?
#1
Hey all, I was given a dart as a present recently and was told it was a Citronella. I am not sure what source this dart came from nor if it was correctly identified. Any response / recomendations would be helpful!

So, Guess that dart :oops:
Citronella ?

I don't think it is a cit. I have never seen a cit with spotted legs like that one does, cobalts usually have legs like that. I'm not prepared though to call it a cobalt.

Could you post a belly shot as well as a pic zoomed out a little?

Its either a hybrid or a oddly patterned Cobalt. Looks a bit like a hybrid, or morph crossing.

Belly shots would help considrably as well a shot from a bit of a distance, this being said I will jump on the hybrid boat and say it's a morph crossing of some sort. Were did you get it?

sorry for the slow response, i am really not that good at taking dart pics. i took nice pictures on vacation in Japan, but cant snap a good one of a little frog! here are the best ones i could get. The belly is dark but spotted.

once i get another tank going i will get some more darts, but i guess i cant let this one breed bc its a hybrid, right?
Thanks for all the help!
