    Hmm, it seems the lateral black line doesn't reach the end of the body. Or is it just the camera?

    I'm also not sure, I just noticed this in the cacas in C328, I think only the triple reds show this.

    Too much inbreeding I guess?

    I had one caca triple red that only had half a lateral line. My first caca didn't show this(the one in my avatar).

    Just my 2 cents.

    Its a triple red. The orange coloration on the fins looks more intense than usual, some may call it as super red though.

    Sunken belly are very common among apistogramma, which means the belly arches inward in a "skinny" manner. You can pump it with some bs and see if the belly gets better though. If the belly gets worst or doesnt seem to heal over time, it may be the cause of internal parasites...which is very hard to cure.
