green rosy barbs? Huh?

[wrs]

So I go to petsmart to see what mbuna they have apart from zebras, kenyii and aurtus, none of course, so I go and look at the community fish. they had these beautiful long fionned green barbs, and the lable said they were rosey barbs. I have never seen green ones before.

Is that like a color morph, or a gender diffrence? They were quite nice looking.

Probably a color morph...I also think that long finned barbs are results from selective breeding but i may be wrong about that.
