Yes, the colors are real -- the market is full of brilliantly colored fish, but I have always been fascinated with these irabucha, or blue ones. I had wanted the fish to be "cute," kind of sitting there saying, "Please don't eat little 'ol me -- eat meat instead," (but yet still an advertisement for buying fish); however, I guess those teeth (for gnawing on coral, reportedly) really do make them look a bit scary, as if they could easily take a chunk out of your finger, LOL.

Eat meat ... or I will bite your fingers off. LOL I remember you explained before these colors are real. I find them still amazing. Fine specimen to pass the message. Willem
