    I need help identifying this fish. Sorry that the picture is blurry but I tried 3 different ways, One with my phone, then a camera, and then my computer cam and they all came out blurry b/c it swims so quick...Il discribe it for you and maybe it will make the picture a little cleaner. Ok its pink and turns orange im guessing from stress as well, it has a really cool design on it.. Its like a clear shine with stripes of a pinkish orange, its energetic, I'd say its a medium size fish.. um i hope thats enough. I tried to find it online with no luck. If you need anymore discription il be more then happy to post it. THANKS Jace!!!

    there are diffrent fancy bits on both male and female
    next thought wcmm, they have certain colours depending on age and stress level!
    if not can you get a better pic sometime, try feeding and taking!!
