- Body mostly black with red undertones.
- Iridescent spots on this individual still look different than those on other individuals- more diffuse borders and irregularly shaped compared to other fish in same group. Iridescent spots might also be more numerous and consequently tightly-packed than on other individuals.
- Fins less red than before but still bright red on tips. Still looks like a 7-pointer.
- White highlights on fin reduced but still present.
Personal reflection on my OP: I got the developmental color progression flat-out wrong. These fish weren't all transitioning to orange; perhaps the orange may have been the stress coloration.
