Platinum Red Empress OB

Protomelas taeniolatus x

A truly beautiful hybrid. The result of crossing a male Red Empress with a female OB Peacock and then back crossing with a Red Empress. It's hard to find an OB with such a myriad of colors: Red, yellow and blue. A beautiful and popular hybrid! The platinum strain has vibrant, shimmering coloration. This strain colors up around 4''+! Patience is key!
